It aims to identify prior art, which refers to any existing information or technology similar or related to the invention being searched. Patents are granted by governments to inventors who have created something new and useful. The patent gives the inventor the right to exclude others from making, using, or selling the invention for a certain period of time. By conducting a thorough patent search, you can [protect an employee’s intellectual property](https://www.commercialinvestigationsllc.com/blog/you-can-handle-the-truth-five-tips-for-uncovering-lies-in-the-hiring-process?__hstc=223307332.d9113cdd5fa8a3b6fd6ebe7c84ff5c7a.1738591416904.1747254128768.1747321681639.204&__hssc=223307332.9.1747321681639&__hsfp=1623487770), avoid hiring someone who is likely to infringe on your companies patents, or to gather competitive intelligence. If you have a lot of patents, you may want to make sure that the potential employee does not have a history of infringing on others. It is important to note that a patent search is not a perfect solution. It is possible for someone to have a patent without actually having the ability to develop or market the invention. Additionally, a patent search can only identify patents that have been [filed and granted](https://www.commercialinvestigationsllc.com/blog/with-background-checks-one-size-does-not-fit-all?__hstc=223307332.d9113cdd5fa8a3b6fd6ebe7c84ff5c7a.1738591416904.1747254128768.1747321681639.204&__hssc=223307332.9.1747321681639&__hsfp=1623487770). There may be other inventions that are not protected by patents. Despite these limitations, a patent search can be a valuable tool to protect intellectual property and hire the best possible employees. By leveraging patent searches, we help our clients protect their intellectual property, [evaluate candidate qualifications](https://www.commercialinvestigationsllc.com/blog/you-can-handle-the-truth-five-tips-for-uncovering-lies-in-the-hiring-process?__hstc=223307332.d9113cdd5fa8a3b6fd6ebe7c84ff5c7a.1738591416904.1747254128768.1747321681639.204&__hssc=223307332.9.1747321681639&__hsfp=1623487770), and foster innovation within their organizations.
