Wissen Research is a leading provider of intellectual property research and analysis services. We help businesses across industries make informed decisions, mitigate risks, and maximize their competitive advantage. One of our core services is the Freedom to Operate (FTO) search, which helps businesses identify and mitigate potential infringement risks before launching new products or services.
Our process for conducting FTO (Freedom to Operate) searches includes a thorough examination to detect active/alive patents that may prohibit a company from manufacturing or selling a specific product or practicing a particular process in a particular area/jurisdiction. Our skilled team of researchers employs cutting-edge technology and technical knowledge to identify potential infringement risks and offer effective strategies to alleviate any such risks.
As the name suggests, Freedom to Operate means that a company has the liberty to involve in trade activities like the development, manufacturing, and sale of a product without impacting the IP rights of an individual or a company. Freedom to Operate Search enables a company to determine whether its product or procedure is infringing the claims of an active patent and prevent litigation risk beforehand. A Freedom to Operate search is also known as a Clearance Search, Right to Use Search and Non-Infringement Opinion.
Who should conduct an FTO search?
Any individual inventor or company can conduct an FTO search to determine whether a product or procedure could be done in a specific jurisdiction. This will help to gain 100% confidence that there will be no litigation risk or patent infringement in the future.
At what stage of the product cycle is Freedom to Operate (FTO) search usually performed?
Ideally, an FTO search is done before launching a product in the market. But the best time to conduct an FTO search is when your product is in the development stage because your product might be infringing on anyone’s active patent. You can make modifications to your product without any issues, as it becomes difficult to do so when you are about to launch your product.
