Why a prior art search matters for blockchain

Blockchain patenting surged quickly, so novelty is contested and a search is essential before filing. It also surfaces defensive publications, which are common in this community.

  • Applying a known ledger to a new use is often obvious; the novelty usually has to be technical.
  • Whitepapers, forum posts, and code repositories are frequently the closest prior art.
  • Eligibility scrutiny is high for finance-flavored ledger claims.

Blockchain prior art search FAQ

What is a prior art search?
A prior art search looks for existing blockchain patents, published applications, and other public disclosures that are similar to your idea. It helps you gauge whether an invention is new before you spend time and money on a patent application.
How do I do a prior art search for a blockchain invention?
Describe your blockchain idea in plain language using its key technical features, then run the search. Persoona queries Google Patents and ranks the closest blockchain results so you can see what already exists before you file.
Is Persoona's prior art search free to use?
The preview is open to everyone and shows the top results for your query. Sign in to see the full result list and to draft a United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) provisional package from what you find. No card is required to start.
Does this replace a professional patent search or legal advice?
No. This is a preliminary search of Google Patents to help you get oriented. It is not exhaustive and it is not legal advice. Before you file or rely on the results, have a registered patent attorney run a professional search.
Where do the results come from?
Results come from a live search of Google Patents, which indexes patents and published applications from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and patent offices worldwide. Each result links to the full document so you can read it yourself.
What should I do after a prior art search?
If your blockchain idea looks distinct, draft a provisional patent package on Persoona to lock in a filing date, then have a registered patent attorney review it. You can find one in the Persoona patent attorney directory.
