A “Patent” is an intellectual property right granted by the Government to an inventor “to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention in the nation or importing the invention into the nation” for a limited time in exchange for public disclosure of the invention when the patent is granted.

“Search” means to find out all relevant information related to invention and which is already existed before the date of invention.

“Patent search” is the process by which prior patented inventions are examined, with the goal being to find information that bears close similarity to a given patent or proposed invention.
