IntellectPeritus: Patentability/Novelty Search

* Substantial proof for Novelty and Non-Obviousness * Ensuring patent survives any possible litigation and challenging possible infringement suits by citing valid prior art claims. * For practical reasons, searches completed by patent office examiners are simply not exhaustive. As a result, patents may be granted despite the existence of prior art that, if found, can be used to deem the patent invalid. * This search is often initiated either when a patent owner desires to assess the strength of a given patent in preparation for enforcement of that patent or when an accused infringer wants to ascertain the validity of an asserted patent.
