patentability opinion

Read a random definition: bona forisfacta

A quick definition of patentability opinion:

A patentability opinion is a type of opinion given by a patent attorney or agent about whether an invention is likely to be granted a patent by the patent office. It involves looking at the invention and comparing it to existing inventions to see if it is new and non-obvious. It helps inventors decide whether to apply for a patent and can be important in determining the value of an invention.

A more thorough explanation:

A patentability opinion is a written document prepared by a patent attorney or agent that provides an opinion on the likelihood of a patent application being granted by the patent office. The opinion is based on the attorney's examination of the invention's subject matter, prior art, and other relevant factors.

For example, if an inventor wants to patent a new type of smartphone, they may hire a patent attorney to prepare a patentability opinion. The attorney would examine the invention's features and compare them to existing patents and other prior art to determine if the invention is novel and non-obvious enough to be granted a patent.

Another example is a validity opinion, which is an attorney's opinion on the likelihood of a patent or patent claim being invalidated in light of evidence suggesting obviousness, lack of invention, unenforceability, etc.

Overall, a patentability opinion is an important tool for inventors and companies seeking to protect their intellectual property by obtaining a patent.
