Before searching, the invention is broken down into technical features, functions, components, and possible embodiments. Search terms should include synonyms, older technical terms, and translations into several relevant languages. International patent classifications also enable searches independent of the wording used. Sakpatenti’s registers, search services, and publications show published Georgian applications and patents. For the worldwide state of the art, WIPO PATENTSCOPE, Espacenet, and databases of national patent offices are particularly relevant. Technical articles, conference papers, product materials, and other non-patent publications may also destroy novelty. For relevant documents, check the publication date, priority, technical disclosure, patent claims, and associated patent family. Cited documents and later applications often lead to further relevant sources. Search terms, classifications, databases, date, and technical assessment should be documented. A novelty search does not automatically determine whether the planned commercial use infringes existing enforceable patent rights.
Patent Search Before a Technology-Based Business Launch
A patent search identifies published technical teachings that help assess the novelty and inventive step of a planned invention. For a patent application in Georgia, both Sakpatenti’s patent collections and worldwide patent and technical publications should be searched.
