As part of the Patentability Study, a Search is conducted which discovers patents, patent applications, and non-patent literature. These are reviewed to determine whether an invention covered by the claims was anticipated by anything discovered during the Search. If it was the claims may not be valid. US law does permit exceptions. So a Patentability Study by a qualified patent practitioner is advisable.
