A patent search is an examination of patent databases for patents similar to the technology that is the subject of the search.  The purpose of the patent search is to locate related art that might be prior art to the invention.   In your case, you are interested in a freedom-to-practice search.   If prior art is found in a valid and enforceable patent that fully anticipates the invention in question, you will not be able to practice the invention without a license from the patent owner.   If prior art is found that might render the invention obvious, it is often worthwhile for the inventor to determine whether the owners of that prior art may assert a claim against practicing the invention in question.   Determinations of novelty and non-obviousness are made based on law applied to the facts of the invention and the prior art.  To be of value to the inventor, the results of a patent search should be accompanied by a written opinion of their significance by a registered patent professional (attorney or agent).   Please contact our firm is you wish to retain us to conduct a patent search for your invention.  abc@claibornepatent.com  ...
