- Invalidity Search
Invalidity search is primarily undertaken to confirm the validity and enforceability of their patent right. Interested parties may have various objectives such as:
- To refrain from patent litigation;
- To avoid heavy licensing fees;
- To open road for the blocked product;
- To locate other similar buying options for their patent/ product portfolio;
- Evaluate the strength of a patent before investing resources/money into it.
