There is a lot of difference between providing one good result and all good results.
Majority of the new analysts that work under me are very happy when they get one good/relevant result in an invalidation search. Thereafter they work in peace and doesn’t stress much for more results as they are happy that they have invalidated the subject patent.
No!!
That is not what i’m looking for, or what the client wants. What I am interested in is identifying all the relevant patents that exist in the art. All the patents that can invalidate a patent.
This is what makes a case strong.
This is what that makes you win or loose a case.
So if you are doing an invalidation search, make sure you have all the BANG-ONs!!
