Patent Validity Check, a Must!

Once You have readied yourself for filing a patent for your unique product or service, you definitely have achieved a milestone. An important task however is still left to conduct a patent validity search. For this, many specialist agencies are available these days, which could take care of these important things which could hinder the progress of your product and patent filing later on.



A validity check helps you understand if your patent has overcome the hassles of being copied or there is no reason for it to get admonished at a later stage. If your patent passes through the validity check, you are more confident of moving towards it and you are then more complacent in maintaining your competency.

A validity check also ensures that your product gains confidence amongst the dealers, consumers and marketers to benefit the entire chain in their own rights. This thus enhances your business and product life overall. The value of a product is also enhanced given its valid and secured patent.

A patent check for its validity or invalidity also gives a fair place to the manufacturing or producing company through a verifiable identity through its product. For every manufacturer or service 
provider, it is necessary to maintain its position for which a valid patent is very much a pre-requisite. There is no way one could build trust amongst its consumers and entire value chain that the product passes through without gaining self-confidence about the product. A patent, is a certificate that your product satisfies the minimum qualities a product for example a medicine must entail to reach the final consumer and stay there for long.

Filing a Patent? Look for Invalid Patents as Well

Today in every industry, competition and uniqueness run you. If you are not competitive, you are not in the game and if you are not unique, you are not required. To this effect, all companies, in order to mitigate the risk of being out of the trade due to competition, go for patent filing for their unique product or service. A patent not only helps you gain monopoly for a specified period of time, it also helps you attain uniqueness by improvising on your product to do even better.




While a Company looks to file a patent, it must however know if there is no already existing patent for a similar product in the market already. If it is, is the patent valid? Patent invalidity search is therefore an important part of the process of filing a patent. 

If the patent already existing is found invalid, the company is free to proceed with its filing. However, if the patent invalidity search results in a valid patent, the company needs to wait for that existing patent to expire to avoid any kind of legal or other hassles that could hamper you.


Patent Invalidity Search is usually done by Intellectual Property consultants who help you with all the per-requisites like patent drafting, filing etc before you can capture the market with your unique product. They are experts in various fields and they come in quite handy to bring forth the useful attributes of your product through patent related searches and research on your product.
