Chemical Structure-based Search
There are times when the innovation lies in the molecular structure of chemical compounds but still may face objections by the Patent Office during the prosecution or infringement case by a competitor. In such cases, a Chemical Structure-based search is recommended. Here’s what a chemical Structure based Search report includes:
- Exact structure match, substructure search, similarity search, or Markush structure search
- List of Patent and Non-Patent References disclosing relevant chemical structure
- Relevance Assessment: Evaluation of how each reference is relevant to the chemical structure by comparing the found structure with the subject chemical structure.
Innovation often lies within the intricate molecular structures of chemical compounds. However, even groundbreaking discoveries can face challenges, such as objections from the Patent Office during prosecution or infringement claims by competitors. To address these complexities, a Chemical Structure-based Search is highly recommended.
This specialized search not only helps identify prior art but also ensures your chemical innovation is thoroughly evaluated for patentability and freedom-to-operate.
A comprehensive Chemical Structure-based Search Report typically includes:
Exact Structure Match: Identifying records with an exact match to the target chemical structure.
Substructure Search: Locating compounds where the target structure exists as a part of a larger molecule.
Similarity Search: Exploring chemical entities with structures similar to the target compound, revealing potential overlaps or inspirations.
Markush Structure Search: Covering chemical variations within a family of compounds, often critical in pharmaceutical and polymer innovations.
Additionally, the report provides:
List of Patent and Non-Patent References: A detailed compilation of sources, including patents, journal articles, and databases, that disclose the relevant chemical structures.
Relevance Assessment: A thorough evaluation of how each reference relates to the target chemical structure, comparing the found structures with the subject compound. This assessment helps in determining potential overlaps or distinctiveness of the innovation.
Insights into Prior Art: Understanding the competitive landscape and existing claims within the chemical domain.
