Our
Freedom to Operate Searches (also known as Clearance
Searches) help our clients assess whether they
can freely operate their product/invention/process
without risk of infringing upon a competitor’s
patent. In this search only the claims of valid,
in-force patents are searched to see if the particular
product is covered within them.
Search
of valid, unexpired patents within a market
(currently available for FTO in the US, Canada,
and Europe).
Each
patent reference includes relevancy analysis,
with pinpoint citations to relevant locations
within the references.
