A detailed search for existing prior art to determine whether your invention is novel and non‑obvious, aiding patent filing strategy by surfacing critical prior art with clear, actionable reporting. 

Our Patentability (Novelty) Search helps innovators verify whether your invention is genuinely new and non‑obvious before filing a patent application. We conduct a thorough investigation across patent literature and if appropriate relevant non‑patent sources—journals, technical publications, and product disclosures —to uncover prior art that might impact your filing strategy. This deep dive strengthens your understanding of the IP landscape and ensures you make informed decisions from the outset. Reports are concise and results driven, highlighting why each result shows lack of novelty/inventive step. Backed by our expert UK‑based analysts and global database coverage, this service minimises wasted effort and maximises your chances of securing robust patent protection.
