AboutSchedule a consultPatentability search
Understand what already exists before investing in an application, and identify what makes your invention different.
Before granting a patent, the Patent Office examines whether your invention is new and non-obvious, among other requirements. In plain English, that means it must differ from what was already known—and those differences must amount to more than an obvious variation or combination of earlier work.
A patentability search looks for existing patents and other publications relevant to your invention. We review the findings and explain what they mean for your application.
You can file without a search, but we recommend one because it helps us focus your application on what distinguishes your invention and helps you decide whether to invest in pursuing a patent.

No, but we recommend one. A search ($499) helps us focus your application on what distinguishes your invention and helps you decide whether to invest in pursuing a patent.
It helps identify relevant published work and questions to consider. It cannot guarantee an outcome or find every relevant reference.
