Espacenet, Google Patents, and the IP India portal are the databases used to search prior art, track filing status, and clear freedom-to-operate before a patent is filed or a product launches. Intellectual Property Lawyers and Patent Agents use these tools constantly for novelty searches and opposition research, making fluent database search a baseline skill rather than an optional extra in Indian IP practice. Firms and corporate IP teams expect new hires to already know how to run a thorough prior-art search unsupervised.
