Patent Searching: An indispensable tool for inventors 

Patent Searching Made Easy explains how to assess the novelty of an idea and do patent searches at little or no cost, under the recently-adopted first-to-file rules. 

There’s no sense paying thousands of dollars to file a patent application if someone else has beaten you to the Patent and Trademark Office. Now you can avoid expensive patent-searching fees with this step-by-step guide that explains the process, online and off. 

Patent Searching Made Easy, shows you how to to: 
  • quickly research any new idea to see whether anyone has already patented it
  • come up with the best keywords to describe your invention and target your search
  • classify your invention based on the U.S. Patent Classification System
  • figure out whether your idea is new enough to qualify for a patent
  • verify the patent status of ideas submitted to you (if you’re a developer), and
  • use the latest federal and international search-related resources.
