Patentability — Final Code

What is a Patentability Search?

A Patentability Search, also known as a Novelty Search, is a crucial step for any innovator. It involves a thorough investigation of existing patents, patent applications, and non-patent literature (such as scientific articles and publications) to determine if an invention is novel and non-obvious enough to be granted a patent.

Think of it as a rigorous check to see if your brilliant idea truly stands out in the world of inventions.
