Are legal opinions after a patent search standardized?
<p>I have just received a legal opinion after a patent search from my lawyer. I am scheduled to meet with him in the coming days.</p>
<p>But for now, his opinion is documented as such:</p>
<p><code>Therefore, I cautiously recommended proceeding with your patent application as presently designed focusing on the structure.</code></p>
<p>Is this a standard opinion?</p>

<p>No search can find all relevant references. Any search provider needs some wording to say that what they turned up doesn’t kill your chances (if that is the case) but also not guarantee anything.</p>
