Patent Search
A patent search and searches of other technical literature is an important step in obtaining strategic international patent protection and minimising your patenting risks.
Our patent searchers have at their disposal a variety of sophisticated databases and international patent search software, as well as many years of experience in these types of searches.
Patentability Searches
A patent ability search (international patent search) can be carried out to provide you with an indication of whether your invention is new and inventive. An invention must be both novel and include an inventive step to be patentable.
Freedom-to-operate Patent Searches
A freedom-to-operate patent search, also known as an infringement patent search, is carried out to attempt to identify any granted patents that a product may infringe if sold, manufactured or used in the country where the patent has been granted.
Australian Patent Searches
IP Australia maintains the AUSPAT patent database, which allows anyone to search Australian patent data. Our patent attorneys and patent searchers can carry out numerous types of Australian patent searches for you on this database, including patent number, patent applicant and inventor searches.
