PatentManiac provides its clients with validation & patent invalidity search and invalidation search in order to confirm a patent's enforceability or validity. Our team of experts conduct a thorough patent and non-patent literature search to identify the prior art literatures to invalidate the patent in questions. Potential prior arts identified, along with the analysis are included in the report.
The report further includes claim chart mapping of the relevant matter against claims of the subject patent. The claim chart is color-coded and detailed, so as to provide a thorough overlap analysis of the prior art(s) against the subject claims.
A patent invalidity search can provide useful support when an organization needs to review an existing patent in the context of a potential dispute, licensing matter or business transaction. The information gathered can help stakeholders better understand the relevant patent situation and make more informed decisions before proceeding with further legal or commercial action.
A patent invalidity search can also help examine the historical development of a technology and determine how earlier disclosures relate to the subject patent. Reviewing the chronology of publications, technical developments, and other relevant records can provide additional context about how the claimed subject matter emerged over time. This historical perspective can be useful when analyzing the background surrounding particular patent claims.
Further, antecedent and enablement issues, non-compliance to duty of disclosure etc. are also analysed to make the report more concrete and targeted. We carefully understand the scope of the search, in order to focus on the most relevant sources and fit a predetermined budget. Additionally, patent watch services are also offered to help clients monitor new publications and competitive filings relevant to their technologies
