What is a patentability search and opinion for new product ideas?

Get a Patentability Search and Opinion on Your New Product Idea

Use a Patentability Search and Opinion to determine if you should pursue patents for your new product ideas. A U.S. Patentability Search and Opinion is commonly provided by a patent attorney. A "search" consists of searching and reviewing previously published materials available through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The patent attorney uses this information to render an opinion as to whether or not your new product idea is patentable.
