Before investing in a full patentability search, many inventors and companies choose a Knock Out Search as a quick, efficient way to screen out ideas that might not be patentable. This streamlined search reviews key patent databases for existing patents that are similar to a proposed invention. Our Knock Out Search service helps clients gauge the novelty of their idea early in the process, saving time and resources by identifying any obvious barriers to patenting.

Knock Out Search

A Knock Out Search is a preliminary investigation focused on uncovering highly similar existing patents or published applications. It’s designed to be a fast, high-level assessment that helps determine whether an invention might encounter major patentability issues. The search involves:

• Quick Database Check: Searches core patent databases for existing patents and applications closely related to your idea.
• High-Level Review: Focused on identifying patents with overlapping features or concepts, helping to screen out non-novel ideas.
• Cost-Effective: Offers an affordable first step before committing to a full patent search.

Key Benefits of a Knock Out Search

• Early Risk Identification: Quickly identifies any immediate patentability issues, avoiding investment in potentially unpatentable ideas.
• Efficient Resource Allocation: Allows inventors to decide whether to proceed with further development or modification of their idea.
• Rapid Feedback: Provides fast results, allowing clients to pivot or proceed with confidence.
• Cost Savings: Minimizes upfront search costs, ideal for early-stage projects or startups exploring multiple ideas.
