Information Disclosure Statement Preparation
IP Brigade’s IDS Preparation service involves drafting an IDS which is a list of references (invention-related) supplied to the patent office by the applicant. IDS preparation may be triggered at any time starting from application filing till Notice of allowance issues.
Why Information Disclosure Statement Preparation ?
- Compliance with legal requirements: The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) requires patent applicants to submit an IDS that discloses any prior art that is relevant to the patentability of the invention. Failure to comply with this requirement can result in the patent being invalidated or unenforceable.
- Avoidance of inequitable conduct: If an applicant fails to submit all relevant prior art to the patent office, this may be considered inequitable conduct, which can result in the patent being declared unenforceable.
- Enhances patentability: By disclosing prior art that may be relevant to the patentability of the invention, the patent examiner can make a more informed decision about the patentability of the invention. This can ultimately enhance the chances of obtaining a granted patent.
