AValidity Search can be carried out if you are accused of infringing a patent or you are concerned that you may be infringing a competitor patent.

The search will look in detail at the claims of the attacking patent with the aim of searching for prior art to each of the claims. Thus it may be found that some or all components of the disputed invention ( as detailed by the claims) were known prior to the filing date of the attacking patent and thus are invalid. This information could be used by a patent attorney to defend your company against the alleged infringement action.
