Confidently Launch with AI-Driven Freedom to Operate Insights
Protect your innovation and accelerate your go-to-market strategy with our AI-based hybrid Freedom to Operate analysis—combining speed, accuracy, and expert insight for complete peace of mind.
A Freedom to Operate (FTO) search—also known as a right to use, patent clearance, or risk assessment search—evaluates the patent landscape to identify any protected technologies that could restrict your ability to use or commercialize your invention. Without a thorough FTO search, you may unknowingly infringe on existing intellectual property, exposing your business to legal and financial risks.
Our AI-based hybrid FTO analysis combines advanced artificial intelligence with the expertise of seasoned IP professionals. We scan global patent databases, analyze complex claim language, and provide actionable insights tailored to your industry and markets of interest. This approach ensures you can make informed decisions early in the innovation process, allocate R&D resources efficiently, and demonstrate due diligence if challenged.
FTO is not a guarantee, but a legal opinion based on a comprehensive review of the patent landscape. Our methodology adapts to your innovation stage, industry risk profile, and target markets—whether you’re in a high-litigation sector, expanding globally, or launching a new product. Even if you already hold a patent, our FTO analysis helps ensure you’re not infringing on third-party rights, giving you the confidence to operate and commercialize your technology.
What is Freedom to Operate?
Freedom to Operate means you can use, make, or sell your technology without infringing on others’ intellectual property. Achieving FTO may involve inventing around existing patents, licensing, or purchasing rights, and always requires a thorough search and legal assessment.
