Why You Need a Professional Patent Search
A patent search (also known as a prior art search) is the foundation of a strong patent application. The USPTO will reject your application if they find that your invention—or an obvious variation of it—already exists in public records anywhere in the world.
⚠️ Warning: Performing a quick Google search is not enough. You need to search the USPTO database, international databases, and non-patent literature using complex classification systems.
What is "Prior Art"?
Prior art includes any evidence that your invention is already known. This can be:
- Existing US or foreign patents
- Published patent applications
- Scientific journals or magazine articles
- Public demonstrations or products already on sale
🚨 Danger: If you skip the formal search to save money, you risk spending thousands on a patent application that is ultimately rejected by the examiner for lack of novelty.
