The Value of Prior Art Searches

Before investing time and money in securing patent protection for a new invention, conducting a prior art search is a wise first step. A prior art search, performed by a patent attorney or agent, identifies publicly available information that may disclose or suggest your invention. This includes published patents, patent applications, academic articles, periodicals, and other relevant sources.

To uncover relevant prior art, these searches often combine keyword analysis, name searches, and exploration of classification systems used by the U.S. Patent Office, along with other specialized techniques. Conducting a thorough prior art search helps you make informed decisions about pursuing a patent and ensures a strong foundation for your intellectual property strategy.

Responding to Office Actions

When applying for patent protection with the U.S. Patent Office, receiving at least one Office Action from the assigned patent examiner is common. An Office Action is a written response that outlines the examiner’s stance on the patentability of your invention claims as they are currently written. During the prosecution of a patent application, claims can be amended or adjusted to better define your invention and distinguish it from prior art cited by the examiner.

Patent applicants, through their attorneys, must address Office Actions within the specified timeframe to avoid the risk of their application being abandoned. If an Office Action results in a Non-Final or Final Rejection, applicants have two primary options to keep the application moving forward:

  • Amend the claims to better differentiate the invention from the cited prior art, and/or
  • Dispute the examiner’s interpretation of the cited art and argue that the prior art does not invalidate the invention.

 

Our team at Five Continent Tip frequently handles Office Action responses by refining claims and presenting technical arguments that highlight the unique aspects of your invention in relation to the cited prior art.
