Abstract

Patent as well as literature search forms the basis of a novelty search project. It is an indispensable part of any type of service provided by a law firm. It can be accomplished using various approaches of searching such as keyword based searches, class based searches, semantic searches, sequence searches, structure searches etc. Here we attempted to break the novelty feature of the subject matter by performing keyword based searches on databases like Google Patents, Espacenet, WIPO &USPTO and analysing the subsequent results. We found relevant patents as well as literature references which sufficiently covered all the key points mentioned in the requirement, thus conveniently making the subject matter in question non-patentable.
