Invalidity Search

ByNitin Jindal

The detailed and comprehensive Invalidity search report enables clients for highly sensitive litigation, opposition, and patent acquisition cases where a high-definition claim chart is required to ease the attorney’s efforts. Before going for any invalidity search, we analyze the subject patent case in-depth using litigation/ opposition documents (if any), file wrapper, etc., to build a sound understanding of the case. We categorize the identified references into three categories “X”, “Y”, and “A”, as per the international search report (ISR).

  • “X” Category: Novelty or Inventiveness in one reference. 
  • “Y” Category: If novelty or inventiveness is lacking in one document; two or more references are identified to generate a claim chart.  
  • “A” category: This category references background art that neither discloses any novelty nor inventiveness. 

IeB’s Invalidity search report is enabled with a feature matrix generated for each feature. This enables attorneys to have a quick walk-through of fully supported, partially supported, inferentially supported, and non-supported features. Below are the strategies applied for an exhaustive Invalidity search.

Why is Patent Invalidation Study Imperative?

  • To invalidate the claims of a patent through a prior art search.
  • To check the potency of a granted patent.
  • To assess the validity of an established patent.
