Novelty Search

Novelty Searches can be used in a wide range of connections, e.g.

  • As a clarification of whether an invention is new

  • For assessing the inventive merit of new products in relation to patenting

  • As a basis for a well-founded patent application

  • Specification of the aim of the search

  • Description of the scope of the search

  • Overview of material found divided into categories depending on its relevance in relation to the customer’s invention

  • Search strategy and databases used for the search
