Is search necessary for invention?
A search can be conducted to check that an invention is new and/or does not conflict with or infringe any existing patent. Search is usually recommended before significant expenditure is contemplated for instance, development or marketing of the invention or overseas patent protection It is important to understand that search can never be conclusive. It merely reduces the degree of uncertainty. Professionally conducted searches may range from a relatively inexpensive search conducted on a computer database to a comprehensive manual search of the patent and scientific literature.
