A patentability or novelty search is a preliminary investigation conducted to determine whether an invention is new and eligible for patent protection. This search identifies existing patents, published applications, or public disclosures (known as prior art) that are similar to the invention in question.

It also prevents wasting time and resources on non-patentable ideas. Conducting a patentability search is a crucial first step before filing a patent application, ensuring the invention meets the legal requirements for patent protection.
