Prior Art Search

Have you developed a technology and are wondering if it is patentable? Do you have a “novel idea,” but aren’t sure if someone else has already thought of it? If so, then you most likely need to conduct a prior art search!

The prior art search is an essential first step when it comes to intellectual property and patenting your technology. Join UNM Rainforest Innovations life sciences technology portfolio manager, Gregg Banninger to learn about the prior art search, what it is, why it is important and how to conduct one of your own for your technology or business.
