A validity search involves conducting a patent and non-patent literature search to identify prior art literature that might affect the validity of a granted patent. Such Projects are, generally, conducted to:
These searches are alternatively known as Invalidity/invalidation search, Opposition searches, Patent Strength Assessment Searches, etc.
IP Wagon's unparalleled searching skills and techniques have helped various clients around the globe. We believe in identifying even the most obscure prior arts with special emphasis on searching Non-US patents and Non-Patent Literatures which has been an integral part in our success.
These involve search and development of the prior art upon which a re-examination request can be made and preparation of the argument to be submitted to an examiner in support of “substantial new questions of patentability” (SNQs) and submitting a USPTO patent re-examination request.
