Patent Search

Definition

A patent search is the process of reviewing existing patents and patent applications to determine whether a specific invention or product is novel and non-obvious. For products within the United States, this search is often conducted to ensure that the product does not infringe on any existing patents, and to assess the scope of patent protection for new ideas. Patent searches are essential for companies in the MedTech industry to avoid intellectual property disputes, secure innovation, and protect product development strategies.
