Freedom to Operate (FTO) Search Freedom to operate (FTO) searches, also known as Clearance Search or Right to Use Search identifies potential patent barriers to the commercialization of products or technologies.

We identify published applications and unexpired patents (in a specific jurisdiction or worldwide) containing claims that could possibly indicate a risk of infringement by an inventive product or process of the client. The product/process features are mapped against the claim features of relevant patent references that are in-force in order to determine the degree of freedom to operate without infringing on existing patents.

State-of-art Search Our State of the Art Search is designed to provide up-to-date information and progress in a specific technical field. It is the broadest of all patent searches which also provides an overall perspective of a particular technical field and is typically conducted prior to making a patent application, or prior to amendment of an existing patent application.

This search involves a comprehensive review of all patent and non-patent literature thereby allowing client to update with the state of the art that exists already in a particular technology and then to build on it. It will also allow a company to spot new competitors and to identify new technological trends. Our State of the art search will help in making informed decisions in

determining the direction for steering the R&D and prior to making further investments, mergers and acquisitions.

Patentability Search Our patentability search involves searching the prior art, which includes published patent applications, issued patents, and any other published documents in light of your invention, with the aim of determining whether your patent application is worth pursuing based on the patentability aspects of the inventive concept. The basic purpose of a patentability search is to better assess the likelihood of securing patent protection for an invention.

This search answers the questions like your idea is truly novel or not, has it already been patented, has it been anticipated or rendered obvious. Since the cost of preparing, filing and prosecuting or attempting to prosecute a patent application is substantial, the search suggests will it be worth the cost to file a patent at all for the idea and will it be worth the effort and expense to fully develop and market your concept.

This search not only makes the application process easier but also helps to strengthen the invention against issues of validity. The search report includes relevant patent and non-patent prior art references listed in a comprehensive manner. Patent search is conducted using public and subscribed patent databases that cover patents from around the globe. Non-patent literature search is conducted in the relevant technology domain using scientific databases.
