Value Delivered
The identified prior art provided a strong rebuttal to the claims of novelty, presenting a compelling opportunity to challenge the validity of the design patent in dispute.
Problems Solved
The patented massager design presented significant challenges in finding relevant prior art due to its intricate nature. Despite reviewing over 2,000 patents, no novel design aspects were found, and the arrangement of the design remained unmatched in its complexity.
Furthermore, extensive exploration of non-patent sources such as manufacturers’ documentation, product teardown videos, and professional chiropractic demonstrations did not yield any comparable designs.
Solution Offered
The search expanded into cross-domain applications, which led to the breakthrough discovery of a massage device design resembling that used in jigsaws, thus identifying critical prior art.
Further evidence of ‘obviousness’ was gathered from an assemblage of information available across blogs and YouTube videos, which helped to construct a narrative of pre-existing knowledge in the public domain.
