At each step of innovation, a lot of ideas may seem to be unique and patentable. When a company spends large amount of time and money in research and development activities, it becomes essential to analyze the novelty and scope of inventions, prior to filing a patent.
A Patentability search is the first right step in a patent process as it is designed to tell you the likelihood of obtaining a patent on your idea and to ensure that your idea is extremely unique and patentable. An invention is patentable only when it is new or novel and patentability search for an invention helps in knowing whether it has been disclosed publicly by someone before the critical date of the invention.

Non-patent literature is required for almost all use cases in patent search and innovation intelligence – except for freedom-to-operate/clearance searches and those related to IPR&D analytics which exclusively focuses on patent landscapes. For all other use cases, non-patent literature is a must. Key search areas we cover include: top-cited journals, eBooks and conference proceedings, scholarly, government and general-interest titles, abstracts, Open Access full text, clinical resources, allied health research database etc. Various databases that can be smartly chosen, based upon the domain of interest may include databases like Google Scholar, Scirus etc. and technology domain specific scientific journals such as PubMed, IP.com, IEEE, ASME, ACM, STN etc. Offline NPL sources include chapters in books, conference proceedings, thesis, dictionaries etc.
