Novelty Search
Novelty with regard to patents means that the invention must necessarily have a new feature which is not yet known.
Novelty is one of the basic criteria for any invention to be considered as patentable. If an invention is not novel then it fails to meet the very essential of a patentable invention. If an invention is to be classified as novel then such an invention must have some new element not known to anyone till now and not something which is already known to others. It is essential to conduct a novelty search prior to filing an application before the respective patent authorities. If the novelty element is absent in the invention then the same would result in the objection of the application by the examiner and ultimately the refusal of the patent application. So in order avoid such a situation it is better to conduct a novelty search with regard to your invention.
