Novelty Search

Infoseeds is having a team of experts for prior art searches. The team has the capabilities of handling prior art searches of different domains like Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical, Embedded, Mechanical etc. We prepare the search report as per the client's requirements. Our searching strategy comprises key-word based searching, US and ECLA classification based searching, assignee based searching, combination of key-words along with classification based and assignee, and inventors based searching. Novelty search reports prepared by our team helps the clients in the following ways:

  • Curiosity inquiry (Earlier abstraction pursuit) is directed before filling a patent requisition in any nation to guarantee that the invention/research fulfilled by an inventor/researcher is novel and non-unmistakable. Therefore, curiosity pursuit is quite much supportive in safeguarding the team's endeavors in terms of time and cash included in documenting the requisitions. The search report helps the client to take decision on whether to file the invention or not and saves money.
  • Not just it recovers time and cash; it moreover gives the present state of the existing symbolization which encourages attorneys/patent executors to draft the claims consequently.


Validity/Invalidity Search

The [In]Validity hunt is an earlier abstraction inquiry directed when a patent issues. The [In]Validity hunt helps in identifying a reference that can be utilized in opposition to the patent which is under examination to announce it as invalid. Invalidity analysis is one of the most critical tasks in IPR industry where the objective is to crack a target patent from negotiation point of view. [In]Validity analysis reports prepared by our team help our clients in the following ways:

  • The report provides high quality claim chart describing mapping of the pertinent text extracted from identified prior art references.
  • The report content is full in technical nature which helps attorney to take decisions confidently.
  • The report provides the relevant bibliographic details for the shortlisted prior art references for quick analysis.
  • The report includes a detailed prosecution history analysis for identifying the disclaimers stated by the applicants during the prosecution phase.
  • The report also covers the various issues like enablement issues, antecedent issues to make the claim chart more valuable.

In order to provide a high quality claim chart report, the team performs the search on various patent databases (Delphion, USPTO, EPO, Freepatentsonline etc.) and non-patent databases (like IEEE, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect etc.) to identify the prior art references for invalidating the patent under study.


Offensive/Defensive Review

At Infoseeds, Offensive or Defensive review projects are also known as patent-to-product (P2P) map. In P2P we prepare the claim charts for a given list of patents against targeted products. If patent list is not given, we generate the potential list using landscaping skills. The claim charts reports prepared by our team help our clients in the following ways:

  • High quality claim charts prepared by the team provides the pertinent text of a target product along with our own analysis for easier understanding.
  • Using P2P map, client can take decisions like whether to use a particular patent for licensing or infringement purpose.
  • The team performs a validity search of a target patent before preparing P2P map. Validity analysis of a patent is an initial step which is always performed before proceeding to P2P analysis. Because if the patent is found invalid, there will be less chances of getting the monetary benefits from that patent.
  • Prosecution history of the target patent is always taken care-off in the P2P mapping. This saves lot of time from an attorney point of view.
  • P2P analysis covers the date analysis, features analysis and lot of other important information which is necessary and more valuable to client.
  • The team also the capability to do reverse engineering for showing the evidences


Landscaping Projects

In patent landscaping projects, the team provides an overview and detailed analysis of all the pertinent patents related to a particular technology or domain. Apart from the novelty search/validity/invalidity venture, we possess an enough encounter of making a patent portfolio of a given company which encourages the clients to:

  • Know major competitors in a specific territory of investment.
  • Know the complete patent portfolio of the competitors.
  • Perform SWOT analysis to make a contrast with their competitors.
  • Develop licensing strategies.
  • Think for merging or acquiring a particular company.
  • Know the filling trends (Year-wise) of their competitors.
  • Determine latest technological advancement in a particular domain.
  • Track research collaborations in a particular technical domain.

The landscape analysis is summarized in a structured format which includes PowerPoint presentations and spreadsheets. The team prepares a detailed taxonomy and categorizes each and every patent into various technical domains which helps the client in understanding the business of their competitors. Based on the report analysis, client can make important decisions in developing new products.


Freedom to Operate (FTO) Searches

FTO search is used to know whether a product made by client's innovation will lead to infringement of others' patented products, technology, or applications. Now days, FTO search is a mandatory need for the clients before producing or launching a new product in the market. The team performs exhaustive and due diligence search to avoid infringement.


Patent Watch

As per the client request, taxonomy of a particular technology of an interest is prepared and in light of this taxonomy, the team monitors newly issued patents periodically on a weekly or monthly basis. Patent watch considers Assignee, Inventor, Date, Keywords, and other criteria while searching. This way our patent watch report is helpful for the client because it gives updated information on what is happening in - a particular technological domain, new inventions etc.


Search Database

Patent Databases
We believe that the search for a particular subject matter is not complete until the search strategy is exhausted in various databases. Infoseeds engineers uses plurality of search engines to exhaust their hypothesis. Below is a partial list of the databases:
