A Patentability/Novelty Search is conducted to evaluate the patentability of an invention. The objective of a Patentability Search is to identify patent and non-patent literature to determine whether the invention is novel and non-obvious. Search results of Patentability/Novelty Search also helps in drafting the patent application.
Based on inventive concepts, we formulate comprehensive search strategies and use different patent and non-patent databases to locate the relevant prior arts.
Invalidation search is conducted by a defendant to invalidate a patent whereas validation search is carried out by assignee/plaintiff after the grant of a patent to ensure the validity of the patent by conducting prior art search. The objective of the Invalidation Search is to find the prior arts, that enable you to challenge the novelty or non-obviousness of the subject patent. An Invalidation/Validation Search involves conducting a patent and non-patent literature search to identify the prior arts predating the effective filing date (or priority date depending on the case requirements) of the subject patent.
We perform file wrapper analysis to identify the novel concept of the subject patent and conduct exhaustive prior art search to find the relevant patent and non-patent literature. Our comprehensive search strategies include Keywords based search, Classification-based search (IPC/CPC, USC, FI, F-Term), Inventor/Assignee based search; Backward/Forward citation search and a combination of above.
Our Invalidation/Validation search report includes the details of potential prior arts with mapping of claims to the relevant text of the prior art literature. We provide claim chart mapping of the claims of subject patent with colour coded text of relevant prior arts.
Freedom To Operate Search is also termed as FTO search or clearance search. FTO search is carried out to identify the alive patents/pending applications that can be potentially infringed when a product is launched in the market. FTO search is a claim specific search and requires extensive and thorough analysis of claims to uncover all relevant patents in respective jurisdictions. FTO search is restricted to a specific jurisdiction, however, international applications which can enter the target jurisdictions must also be searched.
We at Expertain Analytics assists the clients for FTO searches for various jurisdictions worldwide on a variety of technology domains including Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, Natural Products, Agriculture Sciences, Chemical & Material Science, Polymer Chemistry, Medical Devices & Diagnostics, Nanotechnology, Food & Beverages, Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) etc.
An Infringement Analysis is conducted to find the products already existing in market that may be using the patented technology. An Infringement Analysis helps the patent owners or inventors to find out that their patented technology is not being used without their consent or license. Infringement Analysis identifies the products or services that may be based on the technology of the subject patent.
Infringement Analysis involves identifying the top players and target products in the technology domain. Infringement Analysis report is provided in the form of Evidence Of Use (EOU) charts or claim charts where infringing product features are mapped with claim elements of the subject patent.
Patent Portfolio Analysis is performed to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) of a company’s products and technologies. Patent Portfolio Analysis also help to find new business opportunities/partners to sell or license the unused technologies.
Objectives of Patent Portfolio Analysis may include:
Chemical Structure Search is highly specialized task for researchers and R&D professionals working in the field of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, chemicals/polymers.
Chemical structure Search is performed by chemistry/Chemical researchers to evaluate the novelty of a chemical structure. It is very difficult to search of a New Chemical Entity (NCEs) with a common name or IUPAC name. Also, patents disclose a chemical structure in the form of Markush Structures which makes it very difficult to search the chemical structure of interest.
Thus, Chemical structure Search, along with keyword searches also requires searching in specialized chemical structure databases. These searches can be done on free chemical search databases (SureChEMBL, ChemSpider, PATENTSCOPE, PubChem etc.) or paid database (STN, SciFindern and Questel Orbit).
Our experts have in depth understanding of these databases and can perform different type of search on free as well as paid database.
Biological Sequence includes nucleotide sequences (DNA or RNA) or amino acids sequences (peptides or proteins). Sequence Search is carried out to find the specific arrangement of sequences.
As novelty of the sequence lies in the unique combination of nucleotides or amino acids, a keywords-based search must be supplemented by searching in specialized Sequence Search databases. These searches can be done on free sequence search databases (PatSeq Finder, GenBank etc.) or paid database (STN, SciFindern , GenomeQuest etc.).
Our experts have in depth understanding of these databases and can perform different type of search on free as well as paid database.
Non-Patent Literature plays an important role in prior art searches as well as in research and developments. Non-Patent Literature helps scientists and R&D professionals in designing the research methodologies. Non-Patent Literature search involves searching across varied information sources such as scientific journals, conference proceedings, technical or research reports, clinical trials, books, manuals, thesis, digital documents, datasheets, news, company press release, product documents etc. Though, Non-Patent Literature is precise and clearly written but searching Non-Patent Literature is a complex and daunting task.
We at Expertain Analytics provides extensive Non-Patent Literature Search with technical insights.
Patent Drafting is the most important step during the entire lifecycle of the patent. A patent draft must include all the possible embodiments of the invention and protect the broadest possible scope of the invention by claims.
We at Expertain Analytics offer exceptional Patent Drafting (provisional & complete specifications) services for inventors and attorneys globally. Our team consists of Engineers, Masters and PhDs from varied technical domains including Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, Natural Products, Agriculture Sciences, Chemical & Material Science, Polymer Chemistry, Medical Devices & Diagnostics, Nanotechnology, Food & Beverages, Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) etc.
After filing a patent application, the patent examiner searches for prior art and based on identified prior arts, examiner issues an Office Action. In order to grant a patent, applicant must overcome the examiner objections, either with arguments or with claim amendments by an Office Action Response.
We at Expertain Analytics analyze the patent office objections and perform a detailed technical analysis of the cited references. We identify the technical differences between cited references and claimed invention and prepare the Office Action Response to advance the patent application for grant. Our subject matter experts have good experience in drafting comprehensive claim sets and negotiating the claim scope for the objections of examiner.
