Design Patentability Search

A design patentability/registrability search is a crucial step in the process of securing legal protection for your unique product design. This specialized search aims to uncover any existing designs that could potentially hinder your ability to obtain a design patent or registration. It helps you determine if your design is novel and non-obvious, which are essential criteria for patentability.

Why Conduct a Design Patentability?

Avoid Wasted Resources: Before investing time and money in the design registration process, it is wise to ensure that your design is likely to be granted protection. A search can reveal if similar designs already exist, saving you from pursuing a futile application.

Identify Potential Infringement Risks: The search can help you identify existing designs that your proposed design might inadvertently infringe upon. This knowledge empowers you to modify your design or explore alternative options to avoid future legal disputes.

Assess Market Landscape: By understanding the existing design landscape, you can gauge the uniqueness of your design and make informed decisions about its commercial potential.

Strengthen Your Application: If the search reveals no conflicting designs, it strengthens your case for patentability during the examination process.

Protect Your Design, Secure Your Future

A design patentability/registrability search is a proactive investment in safeguarding your intellectual property. By uncovering potential obstacles early in the design process, you can make informed decisions, protect your innovation, and pave the way for a successful product launch.
