Freedom to operate (FTO) study is a proactive step towards mitigating patent risks, and is considered by numerous technology companies as an essential study that has to be conducted prior to introducing a product to a specific market. We help our clients in identifying the IP barriers for commercializing a product or service in a specific jurisdiction. We provide technical consultancy services giving information about a country or region which would be potentially safe for clients to practice their product without infringing valid intellectual property rights of others.
If your Company wants to sell a product, it is important that you know for sure that your product will not infringe any other patented products in the market. Therefore, we always suggest a patent clearance analysis or Freedom to operate study of a product to be done before it is launched to be absolutely sure where the product stands. In a patent clearance analysis before the launch of the product, we search through various patent databases in search of patents your product may be infringing upon and give you advise accordingly.
