Patent Invalidation Study
Invalidation/Validation Searches are exhaustive prior art search conducted after the grant of patent
to either validate the enforce-ability of the granted claims made by a patent or to invalidate one or
more claims of a competitor’s patent. The methods and resources adopted for Validity / Invalidity
searches are same with the only difference being the results generated (valid or invalid patent
claims). The invalidity/validity searches are extensive as they aim to probe into a large number of
patents, patent applications, and all the non-patent documents available.
Invalidity Searches are one of the first steps taken by a company when confronted by the allegation
of patent infringement. In case you have been sued for infringing a patent, you may use Invalidation
Search as a tool to try and invalidate that patent. In contrary, when you file lawsuit for infringing a
patent, you may use validity searches to confirm the enforce-ability of your granted patentclaims.
Validity searches are also conducted to check the strength of issued patent in light of prior art while
negotiating the licensing or deal.
In order to conduct an invalidation/validation search, we require the patent number and specific
claims along with the target priority date. It is an effort from our end to figure out every possible
prior art that was missed during the Examination by the Patent Office.
Why US?
Native Language Search (Asian & European Languages)
We aim to overcome the challenges posed by multi-lingual prior art searches by conducting manual
searches using native language queries. We prefer manual searches over machine translation or
English abstract to capture references that get missed due to limited technological context.
We provide search services in various native languages from key Asian countries (including
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic, Russian and Indonesian) and European
countries (including French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish). These searches will be
able to identify relevant references originating from that jurisdiction wherein English language
translation is not available.
Our search results are comprehensive and are presented as a Claim chart representation of each
Prior Art. The highlight of such claim charts is the “Claim Enablement” portion, where we define
each element of the claim linking it to its function/aspect mentioned in the description portion. Our
results are provided in a user friendly format with hyperlinks and bookmarks. To reduce the
analysis time, we provide each reference with its bibliography detail. A thorough and detailed
analysis of all references is provided which includes feature to feature mapping.
Additionally that we also provide “Compare Tool” integrated in the report for comparing the claims
of the patent to be invalidated with the captured reference opened in a separate window.
We have full text access of more than 27000 journals, Library access to international and national
research institutes, Thesis database and product catalogs. A ‘no stone left unturned’ approach is
followed to ensure that each and every relevant patent is identified in our search & analysis.
We analyze the file-wrapper for understanding the prosecution history of the search to comprehend
the novelty of the patent and thereby building a strong argument. We also provide novelty and
obviousness/inventive step assessment based on the results obtained.
