Free Patent Search

 

The initial step in the Patenting Process is the Patent Search. Searches are critical since the technology may have already been Patented by another company or individual.

It is possible to perform a preliminary free search online through the US and Canadian Patent Offices at www.uspto.gov and www.cipo.cg.ca.

Or, Google has an easily navigated Free Search Engine at: www.google.com/patents

If a preliminary online search does not discover any directly competing technologies Innovative Licensing & Promotion, Inc. can perform an in-depth Patent Search through its Professional Search Agent.

The most common search is a Novelty Search which is conducted prior to filing a Patent Application. The Novelty Search helps assess the uniqueness of the technology in comparison to other Patented items, and, determine the likelihood of successfully attaining Patent Protection: ie. Patentability.
