Patentability,
Infringement and Validity Searches are some of the strongest areas for
Martin Goffman Associates. Mistakes can be dangerous and costly. Many have
found years after having a patent search conducted, that one small stone was not
overturned and that mistake is now costing you or your client thousands of
dollars.

Patentability or Novelty
searches |
We search the patent and technical literature
in order to help the individual or company (or their attorney) determine if the
new idea is truly novel. |
Infringement search
|
We thoroughly and comprehensively search the
patent literature to assist in determining if the new or existing product will
infringe on existing patents. This should routinely be done prior to a new
product launch. We also examine recently issued patents to determine if they
potentially infringe on your patent. |
Validity Search
|
If actual or potential infringement is of
concern, a validity search should be conducted. Prior art may invalidate an
existing patent removing the need to license the technology or pay royalties.
