Discovering Relevant Literature:

works related to the invention in question, offering valuable references and
insights.
Market Analysis:
They facilitate the recognition of market trends, product launches, sales
figures, mergers and acquisitions, consumer behaviors, application areas, and
competitor strategies, aiding strategic decision-making.
Early Access to Information: NPL
searches provide access to information before patent/application publication,
which can take up to 18 months, enabling proactive preparation and insight.
Legal Support:
Information derived from NPL sources proves vital during patent
opposition/litigation proceedings, furnishing evidence and reinforcing
arguments.
Infringement/Licensing Investigations:
NPL searches play a crucial role in identifying patent infringement or
licensing opportunities by correlating products with patents, often relying
extensively on non-patent literature.
Tailored Exploration:
Customized searches, such as due diligence before business decisions or
exploring niche areas, benefit from examining literature and products not
always covered by patents.
Specialized Inquiry:
Certain searches, such as those involving sequence and structure, are conducted
on NPL databases due to the availability of standard information such as known
sequences and chemical names.
Integration with Patent Searches:
NPL searches can be seamlessly integrated with various patent searches,
including Landscape Search, Patentability Search, Due Diligence, etc., offering
a comprehensive view of the intellectual property landscape.
