Patentability Search Service
The whole patent system is designed to encourage inventions which are useful for the society. It grants the inventor an exclusive right to use his invention and earn profits from the same. But then every invention is not patentable, an invention has to have certain essentials in order to qualify as a patentable invention. As Patent laws vary from country to country the criterion for patentability also varies. It is therefore essential to perform patentability assessment prior to filing a patent application as the same would save both time and money. Patentability assessment means to evaluate whether or not the invention contains the basic essentials required to obtain a patent. The same is an essential step to ensure that no patent application is rejected for failure to possess the basic essentials of a patent.
