Understand Your Invention Before Moving Toward Patent Filing.
A structured patentability assessment helps you examine your invention against relevant prior art and understand important factors such as novelty, inventive concept and technical distinctiveness.
Prior Art Review
Relevant published information and existing technology are reviewed.
Novelty Consideration
Key technical features are considered against identified prior art.
Inventive Concept
The technical contribution and distinguishing elements are examined.
Assessment Summary
Findings are organised to support informed next-step discussions.
Before preparing an application, understand the technical landscape.
Patentability assessment is an important research step for inventors, researchers, startups and organisations considering intellectual property protection. It involves reviewing the invention, identifying relevant prior art and organising findings around commonly considered patentability factors.
The purpose is not to promise a patent grant, but to provide a clearer research-based understanding of the invention and the information available before further filing or professional legal review.
Key Areas Covered In A Patentability Review
Each assessment is organised around the available invention details, relevant publications and the intended scope of the review.
Novelty Review
Review whether relevant prior publications disclose technical features similar to those described in the invention.
Inventive Concept
Examine the technical contribution and distinguishing aspects identified during the research process.
Prior Art Relevance
Organise relevant patent publications, technical documents and other available prior-art information.
Technical Features
Break down the invention into important technical components, functions and differentiating features.
Technology Landscape
Understand related technologies, publication trends and surrounding technical developments where relevant.
Filing Readiness
Identify documentation and research areas that may require attention before moving toward application preparation.

Research Support Designed Around Your Invention
We focus on clear documentation, structured research and understandable communication throughout the assessment process.
Structured Research
Research findings are organised systematically so that important information is easier to review and understand.
Technical Focus
The assessment is centred on the invention's technical features, applications and relevant published information.
Clear Documentation
Findings are presented in a practical format instead of leaving complex research information unorganised.
Research & Academic Experience
Our broader academic and research support experience helps us work with technical and research-oriented subject matter.
End-to-End IP Support
Assessment can be followed by other IP support services according to the client's requirements.
Transparent Scope
The research scope, available information and limitations are kept clear throughout the assessment process.
A patentability assessment is a research and information-support service. Results depend on the information provided, search scope, available databases, publication status, terminology and jurisdiction. No search can guarantee identification of every existing document. The assessment does not constitute a legal opinion and does not guarantee patentability, patent registration, examination outcome or patent grant. For legal or filing decisions, consultation with a qualified patent professional may be appropriate.
