I have had a search done...[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Patent Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by M. Francis on September 02, 2001 at 03:46:16:
and it was reported that while my exact invention is not in the prior art, one of its required features was previously patented as part of another broad device and thus my idea is probably not patentable in any broad way. My question is "What kind of search do I have done to determine my exposure should I proceed with production and sale without a patent." I have attempted to answer this myself via uspto searches but am not confident that I can truly uncover all the toes upon which I may step. I have seen the term "Clearance Search" is that the appropriate term? Is this a more expensive search than the patentability search?
