Prior art is evidence proving that the inventions were known earlier. In simple words, the prior art is a piece of information used by the patent examiner to check the novelty of the patent or invention.
Prior art may include published disclosures, public demonstrations/uses, disclosed to the public by other means, and oral descriptions. If information about the invention or anything similar is already available, a patent application could be rejected. The norms of prior art vary from nation to nation.
For example, oral disclosure can be the criteria for prior arts in some nations (European Patent Office) but not in others
To know more about Prior-Art Search - Contact Us
The prior art may be made on many elements including patents, published patent applications, and non-patent literature. Non-Patent literature may include books, evidence of sale or usage, videos, technical standards, white papers, journals, physical forms, and online resources.

"The prior art constitution varies among various jurisdictions. For example - the US patent law accepts ""your disclosure"" if it has been made within a year before the patent filing date.
But European patent laws are somehow extreme on that as they don't allow such a grace period to the applicant. You should contact your country's copyright and patent authority."

"Your patent application goes through the parameters like your invention must be -
Novelty - It should not be available in any form before your patent filing date. Although, US patent law grants you a grace year before filing a patent application.
Useful - The patent law requires your invention to be useful and industrially applicable.
Non-obviousness Requirement - Your invention must be unique and should not be the modification of any object. It must not look similar to the prior arts.

"Browsing professional databases with international patent coverage is the best way to conduct a patentability search. For a good patent search, we need to look into different geographies and how technology is being practiced there. Though free patent search databases can also help you do a preliminary search to get an idea of where an invention stands, a search on a professional database is highly recommended.

A good search logic will help to identify a good prior art and a patent research professional can best apply a good logic for performing the prior art searches.
To know more about Patentability Search - Contact Us
"Any search engine cannot claim the invention as it is, they must know the process involved in the invention and Keywords alone don't give an idea for the complete method or process of the invention.
If a search engine such as Google can infer your whole invention by just knowing the Keywords, then the invention is very simple or may not come under the non-obviousness criteria that must be met to get a patent. Even if the invention is simple and its keywords are enough for a search engine to make a full invention, then it will be difficult for them to judge if the complete invention is patentable or new.
Further, if one has a fear of the stealing of their invention, then one can go for a provisional application filing before searching on Google. It will give an inventor a one-year window and filing of a patent can be done within this window."

Trademark infringement occurs when a business uses the same or similar name in a way that may lead to confusion with the trademark owner’s service or product in the customer's mind. In general, infringement does not require the infringer to be a competitor in the same goods or services, but infringement requires a similar product or services that have been offered in the same or different marketplace. If there has been an infringement of your trademark, you can take legal action under the statute of the reference country. As the plaintiff, it is your responsibility to prove that the defendant's use of a similar mark has raised confusion.
