Pre-filing review in the context of patents involves a thorough evaluation of an invention before submitting a patent application. This process ensures that the invention is novel, non-obvious, and adequately described. It also includes assessing prior art, determining the appropriate patent strategy, and identifying potential patent claims. The goal is to enhance the application's chances of approval while minimizing costs and avoiding pitfalls during the patent prosecution process.
Pre-Filing Review: Before a patent is filed, it is important to gauge whether the invention is novel, inventive/non-obvious and industrially applicable. In order to determine the novelty and inventiveness of an invention, an in-depth patentability search is conducted. It aids in providing a comprehensive view of the existing technology in the related field and how the invention is different or similar to such technology. It is essential to ensure that appropriate key strings and features are selected so that optimum results are achieved.
