Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Why is a patent search important?
A patent search helps you understand if your invention is patentable, avoid infringing on existing patents, and make informed business decisions, saving you time and money.

Prior art is any evidence that your invention is already known. It includes patents, published articles, and products available to the public before you filed your patent application.

While we conduct an extremely thorough search, no patent search can be 100% guaranteed to be exhaustive. However, a professional search significantly minimizes the risk of missing critical prior art.
