Patentability Assessments

Get clarity before you invest in a full filing.

Before investing in a full patent application, it is often worth understanding whether the invention appears protectable and what the primary risks may be. A patentability assessment helps you decide whether to file now, refine the invention, or adjust strategy.

​

What is included:
 

Prior Art Search

A search of publicly available patents, published applications, and technical publications to identify relevant prior art.
 

Novelty and Non-Obviousness Analysis

A structured comparison of your invention against key references to evaluate patentability considerations.
 

Written Patentability Opinion

A written legal opinion summarizing findings and outlining practical options to strengthen a future filing strategy.
 

If you need freedom to operate (FTO), meaning a risk-focused review of whether a product may implicate third-party patent claims, that is typically a separate analysis. I can scope that based on your product and timeline.
