invention. Often earlier patent applications, granted patents or utility models for the problem underlying the invention or a similar idea already exist. This can lead to a rethink in the product development process if potentially dangerous industrial property rights are found or additional ideas arise from the state of the art. However, a patent search is still useful at a later stage of your invention or project in order to check whether the concrete form of your invention is already known or even subject to legally binding third-party rights.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='eigene-patentrecherche'  class='avia-section av-2xn81k-71dfd1775927ac0019789128332646af main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-495'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2r2308-d4e74b1c3c6bd7135cbcdcfd3d8b0c90\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-2r2308-d4e74b1c3c6bd7135cbcdcfd3d8b0c90{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-2r2308-d4e74b1c3c6bd7135cbcdcfd3d8b0c90 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-2r2308-d4e74b1c3c6bd7135cbcdcfd3d8b0c90 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-2r2308-d4e74b1c3c6bd7135cbcdcfd3d8b0c90 av-special-heading-h2 meta-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-7  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Can I conduct a patent search myself?<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-2kh8rs-f64c299a69c1e263d94bd3d923a8c31b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Basically, anyone can conduct a patent search themselves.

With the prior art found during the search, your invention can be clearly delimited and the patent application can be directed directly to an object that is highly likely to be protectable. This avoids high expenses in the course of the application procedure and saves you valuable time. If, on the other hand, the search reveals that your prior art idea is already fully known and therefore not protectable, the search can save you a negative decision by the patent office and the costs of the application procedure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='vorgehen'  class='avia-section av-1y9fk8-7e96533ff453ecf2f6980cd571ac39e3 main_color avia-section-large avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-495'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1p1ars-dfcf320e72817e753b94773e367a8c53\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-1p1ars-dfcf320e72817e753b94773e367a8c53{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-1p1ars-dfcf320e72817e753b94773e367a8c53 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-1p1ars-dfcf320e72817e753b94773e367a8c53 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-1p1ars-dfcf320e72817e753b94773e367a8c53 av-special-heading-h2 meta-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-13  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >What is the best way to proceed with a patent search?<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-1kou20-c943ef612135efa86994450be80d7fc3 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>It is advisable to consider a strategy before the actual patent search. A strategy can be a combination of a search for keywords about your invention and so-called patent classes of the IPC classification. It is important to search for the essential technical detail of your invention.<\/p>\n<p>As far as possible, keywords should not be used in the patent search, because the specification of certain keywords always represents an arbitrary restriction of the search. If the number of hits necessitates the use of keywords, it is important to find suitable keywords that are as directly related as possible to your invention or technology. To do this, it is best to have another look at which technical components and which functional elements, or which technical process steps your technology contains. As you will probably notice, some terms and synonyms are suitable for the search. For this reason, we recommend that you search for related words or paraphrases in addition to the term that clearly describes your invention. If you work with IPC classes, you should avoid keywords that characterize the selected classes in order to avoid an overdefinition.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to search for names, you should pay attention to the following: Company names are not always spelled the same. Sometimes abbreviations are spelled out, sometimes not. In addition, many companies have additions, which may be omitted when applying for industrial property rights. Occasionally errors creep in when translating company names. Does the company you are looking for also have subsidiaries? A patent may not be filed in the name of the parent company, but in the name of affiliated companies, licensors or even managing directors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='patentanwalt'  class='avia-section av-1gbq6w-3732e52a28639d8a4399b80dab4bcf05 alternate_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-495'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-19jat4-94fb07a7c046d416a6f2e432fa4ab3b0\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-19jat4-94fb07a7c046d416a6f2e432fa4ab3b0{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-19jat4-94fb07a7c046d416a6f2e432fa4ab3b0 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-19jat4-94fb07a7c046d416a6f2e432fa4ab3b0 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-19jat4-94fb07a7c046d416a6f2e432fa4ab3b0 av-special-heading-h2 meta-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-16  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >When do I need a patent attorney?<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-144igo-de7ca9d8a23f8cc39dd562868de84633 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Even though there are some guidelines on how to conduct patent searches, the subject of patent searches is very complex and requires many technical <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patent-server.de\/en\/home\/#kompetenzen\">competencies<\/a>.

In addition, a patent application remains sealed for 18 months after filing until disclosure takes place. Until this time, a patent application cannot be searched in the databases, so that in any case the search already has a gap of 18 months due to the system.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, any search query by the selection of classes and keywords, restrictions with regard to the applicant&#8217;s name or a relevant period of time constitutes a limitation of the search. Language barriers can also play a role, since a search query for keywords is always a definition of IP rights in a particular language.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the patent search is a recommended preliminary clarification which helps to improve the quality of your patent application and to avoid unnecessary costs in the procedure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":80,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-495","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patent-server.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/495"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patent-server.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patent-server.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patent-server.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.patent-server.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=495"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.patent-server.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/495\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1155,"href":"https:\/\/www.patent-server.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/495\/revisions\/1155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.patent-server.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
