FAQ’s
What is a State of the Art (SOA) Search?
A State of the Art (SOA) Search provides a comprehensive overview of all existing technologies, products, and research related to a specific field.
It helps innovators understand current developments, competitive activity, and emerging trends before initiating R&D or IP filings.
Why is a State of the Art Search important?
An SOA search establishes the technological baseline of an industry.
It guides R&D teams to:
- Avoid duplicating existing work,
- Identify gaps and white spaces for innovation, and
- Align new inventions with market and patent trends.
This makes it essential for strategic planning, patent drafting, and technology forecasting.
What happens if prior art is found similar to my concept?
Rather than discouraging innovation, this data helps teams differentiate their inventions, refine claims, or pivot toward less crowded technological directions.
How does a State of the Art Search differ from other patent searches?
Unlike a Novelty Search (which checks for patentability) or an FTO Search (which checks for infringement risk), an SOA search focuses on breadth over depth — mapping the entire innovation landscape of a field rather than assessing a single invention.
