Before an invention makes its way into a patent application, a quiet but critical question lurks beneath the excitement: What if an overlooked research paper, a standard revision, or a conference presentation already explains the same idea? It’s a question many innovators avoid, yet it’s exactly the one that can save months of prosecution effort, protect budgets, and prevent unexpected novelty roadblocks.
Patent databases tell only half the story. The other half lives in the wild: scientific publications, white papers, standards, technical reports, academic theses, and fast-moving preprints. These are often the very references examiners rely on when strengthening novelty and inventive-step rejections.
At Ingenious e-Brain, our IP experts surface these silent disruptors by thoroughly scanning the world’s leading & authentic scientific and technical publications to bring clarity, reduce uncertainty, and shape a filing strategy that aligns with the true state of the art.
A thorough review of invention disclosures and background materials is carried out to define the boundaries of the study. This ensures search directions remain technically aligned and sharply focused on the aspects most vulnerable to NPL overlap.
The invention is deconstructed into core technical features. These elements become the baseline for evaluating scientific publications and technical documents, ensuring relevance and meticulous feature-level comparison.
Pilot searches are performed to capture all relevant keywords, terminologies, synonyms, acronyms, and domain-specific scientific subject areas. These are then used to design advanced search strings that support broad yet precise coverage.
Comprehensive searches are executed across leading scientific and technical sources—Scopus, ScienceDirect, IEEE Xplore, Google Scholar, PubMed, CiteSeerX, ResearchGate, arXiv, and major conference proceedings.
Citation trails, co-authorship patterns, institutional research clusters, and influential papers are analyzed to uncover indirect disclosures that simple keyword matches may not capture.
Similarity matching tools help identify related scientific works across multiple disciplines. Searches based on key authors, research groups, and institutions help capture niche or emerging disclosures.
Relevant publications are shortlisted, extracted, and analysed from a technical standpoint. Each reference is mapped against the invention’s key features to determine novelty gaps, overlaps, and potential areas of concern.
