Screening / Patentability
When you want to investigate patents regarding a known product or process we can do a screening search on the state of the art which can be useful to address the R&D at an early stage of a project or to approach new technical sectors.
If you think, instead, that some features of your solution are new and a patent application could be filed, what you need is a patentability search, a more focused work, addressed to these particular features aimed at finding prior art useful to establish if they are new and inventive.
A complex search strategy is elaborated, by using IPC/CPC or national patent classifications, selected keywords and synonyms, citations, by correcting and reiterating the queries until reliable results are obtained.
