Inventors often have questions regarding whether their invention is patentable, which involves an examination of the prior art and an analysis of whether certain factors are met, such as novelty and non-obviousness. Thus, a patentability opinion starts with a prior art search. The client will receive a spreadsheet with a breakdown of what was found and copies of the prior art (e.g., patents, publications) along with a cover letter explaining how what was found may impact the prospective issuance of a patent. The process begins with a consultation and ends with a second meeting where we go over the results.
