FAQs

A Patent Validity Search is executed to ascertain whether a designated patent adheres to all the essential requisites for patent allocation, subsequent to its awarding.

Why is a Patent Invalidity Search pivotal?

A Patent Invalidity Search is indispensable as it safeguards entities, primarily defendants, engaged in patent infringement litigation by potentially invalidating the pertinent claims of the plaintiff’s patent, thus providing a defense against the lawsuit.

The distinction between a Patent Validity and an Invalidity Search primarily lies in the party’s intent commissioning the search and not in the procedural steps. A Validity Search is typically sought by patent holders wishing to affirm the legitimacy of their claims, whereas an Invalidity Search is usually initiated by alleged infringers aiming to evade litigation.

  • Defendants may opt for an invalidation search as a countermeasure to infringement suits filed by patent holders.
  • Patent Holders may necessitate a validation search to verify the legitimacy of their claims prior to initiating legal action against presumed infringers.
  • Potential Licensors, contemplating licensing inventions, and companies amidst Mergers and Acquisitions also significantly benefit from validation searches to appraise patent strengths and validate claims.
What role does Inalidator+ play in Invalidation Searches?

Inalidator+ is a state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence tool, utilizing ParaBERT technology, devised to optimize access to prior art for meticulous patent claim analysis. It amalgamates advanced NLP models with intellectual patent metrics, facilitating exhaustive invalidation searches and elevating the precision and swiftness of identifying pertinent prior art.

Acceptable prior arts encompass patents, published patent applications, and various non-patent literatures like books, journals, videos, technical standards, evidence of sale or usage, and other online resources.

What are the implications of discovering prior art for a claimed invention?

The identification of prior art signifies that the invention lacks uniqueness and the concept has been previously documented.

What factors influence the cost of a Patent Validation Analysis?

The cost is influenced by several variables including the complexity of inventions, client’s budget, timeline, specifications, desired report format, and the scope of the search encompassing jurisdiction-based and standard-based searches.

Is it feasible to conduct a Patent Validity Analysis internationally?

Yes, Patent Validity Analysis can be executed internationally, considering patents are awarded by individual countries. The search may encompass multiple countries but can be confined by the searcher’s linguistic capabilities and available resources.

What repercussions does a Patent Invalidation Search have on the Patent Owner?

The outcome can be substantial, leading to challenges to the patent’s validity, possibly resulting in the invalidation or modification of the patent scope, which may hinder the owner’s enforcement of patent rights. It may also serve as a defensive tool for alleged infringers in litigation.

What information is encompassed in an Invalidation Search Report?

The report usually comprises a list and analysis of the prior art references discovered, potentially an opinion on patent validity, and an elucidation of the methodology, terms, limitations, and caveats pertaining to the search, incorporating various forms of prior art.

Ready To Challenge Patent Validity?

At TT Consultants, we believe that a proactive approach to patent management is essential for any company, organization, or individual vested in the innovation landscape. Our patent invalidation search services are crafted to scrutinize the very core of a patent – its claims and limitations – to challenge its validity with precision and strategic insight. 

When you reach out to us with questions or a project scope, we gear up to dissect target claims thoroughly. Our primary objective is to provide you with an unclouded view of the patent’s robustness. It’s our commitment to ensure quality results that stand up to scrutiny, whether it’s during litigations, acquisitions, or strategic patent portfolio management. 

Patent claims live and die by the novelty and non-obviousness of their invention at the time of filing. Our invalidation searches respect this axiom by adhering strictly to date restrictions. We delve into the wealth of knowledge published before a patent’s filing or priority date, whichever is earlier, leaving no page unturned in the quest for prior art that might question the patent’s originality. 

Our approach extends beyond just keyword or classification searches. We factor in additional dimensions like assignee-based, inventor-based, and citation-based searches. This multifaceted strategy is not just about covering all bases; it’s about crafting a bespoke search strategy that ensures the discovery of highly relevant prior art. 

We understand that the criteria for originality and non-obviousness are not confined by borders; they are global measures. Hence, our searches are international in scope, with no jurisdictional restrictions. Whether it’s a patent from the United States, a utility model from Germany, or a design patent from Japan, our search for prior art is as global as the marketplace itself. 

In our quest for prior art, we look everywhere. The notion that a patent can only be invalidated by another patent or a scientific paper is outdated. We recognize that even non-traditional sources like comic strips can harbor the key to undermining a patent’s validity. Our document type restrictions are, therefore, deliberately broad to capture every conceivable type of prior art.

At TT Consultants, we specialize in conducting comprehensive prior art searches to determine the validity of patents.
Our focus is on examining the unique features and language of each claim to develop a robust search strategy aimed at finding prior art that could potentially invalidate a patent.
The process involves a detailed analysis of the claim language to ensure that our search targets the exact scope of the invention.
This type of search requires a high level of expertise and is best performed by professionals with a deep understanding of patent law and search techniques.

When facing complex litigation or when a high-value patent is at stake, we work closely with our clients to create a customized search plan.
This collaborative approach allows us to align our search strategy with the client's specific needs, ensuring we leave no stone unturned. We understand that the intricacies of patent language and non-patent literature are just as critical as the patents themselves in these searches.
Therefore, we conduct our searches with a keen eye for detail to identify the most relevant references that could challenge the patent's claims. 

Our search is exhaustive and meticulously date-restricted to find prior art published before the earliest priority date of the patent in question.
We recognize that even a single relevant piece of prior art that directly aligns with all features of a claim can be significant. If such a piece is found, it may be grounds for immediate cessation of the project, as it could be the key to invalidating the patent or confirming its vulnerability.
