Non-Patent Literature Search
Synoptic IP’s Non-Patent Search finds published data that is essential at any stage of the product lifecycle. Non-patent literature (NPL) includes works that have been published in scientific journal databases, digital documents, thesis, product documents, and public disclosures made on websites like social media, datasheets, magazines, etc. Synoptic IP can give you a thorough assessment of the existing prior art, which will save your time, improve the quality of your patents, and make them more useful to more people.
Why Should You Search Non-Patent Literature?
- To determine the papers, dissertations, and cited literature that an innovation is based on
- To check competitive business strategies, product launches, sales, mergers, consumer behaviour, and application areas.
- An applicant should do a non-patent literature search because non-patent information is accessible before a patent or application is published. (which can take around 18 months).
- When a patent is being opposed or litigated, searches of non-patent literature may be helpful.
- Non-patent literature search can play a significant role in infringement/licensing that involves identifying products that correspond to a patent.
- Non-patent literature searches involving literature and goods that aren't usually covered by patents can be very helpful before making a business decision or a search in a specific area.
- Non-patent literature searches can be integrated with many patent searches, including Landscape Search, Patentability Search, Due Diligence, etc.
