Prior art refers to a set of available information related to an invention. Novelty of an invention means that it does not exist in prior art, and for this reason, prior art is used to evaluate the patentability of an invention. Researchers and companies need to review their prior art before applying for a patent to ensure that their work is innovative and non-repetitive, and to avoid wasting time and money.
Inventors should note that one of the barriers to patenting is its presence in prior patent art. Thus, the examination of prior art of the invention is considered as a determining factor in its acceptance, sometimes the researcher may violate his invention by untimely disclosure of his work due to lack of awareness. It is recommended to refrain from disclosing, displaying or presenting the invention before submitting a patent declaration. Of course, disclosure will not preclude patenting at all, and under certain conditions, a patent may be disclosed before registration. Our team has made it possible for companies and researchers to review their previous patent art and the possibility of patenting it.
