Why a prior art search matters for fintech

Fintech sits at the intersection of business methods and security, so the closest art can come from either. A search helps you frame the technical, non-abstract contribution examiners look for.

  • Pure financial schemes are abstract; the patentable contribution is usually a technical mechanism.
  • Standards bodies and bank technical documentation are searchable prior art.
  • Security and cryptography claims have their own dense prior art to check.

Fintech prior art search FAQ

What is a prior art search?
A prior art search looks for existing fintech 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 fintech invention?
Describe your fintech idea in plain language using its key technical features, then run the search. Persoona queries Google Patents and ranks the closest fintech 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 fintech 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.
