provided to the legitimate inventors or applicants to
secure the patent rights despite of making the
invention public or use of the same publicly under
certain circumstances. Based on the above, it can be

PRIOR ART SEARCH PROCESS
PRIOR ART SEARCH PROCESS is conducted using a keyword search in large patent databases, scientific papers and publications. The term “art” refers to relevant technical field.
Patent of the invention is not valid if the invention is described in the prior art.
Novelty of the invention is not guaranteeable even once the patent has been granted as some obscure little known publication have already disclosed the claimed invention.
