Design Freedom to Operate (FTO) Search Clearance Search Ensuring Innovation Without Legal Barriers iipsearch.com
What is Freedom to Operate (FTO) Search? Before bringing a new product, design, or technology to market, businesses must ensure that their innovation does not violate existing patents. A Freedom to Operate (FTO) Search is a specialized patent search and analysis that: Identifies active patents that may restrict your design. Helps avoid potential legal conflicts and infringement lawsuits. Provides insights on whether design modifications, licensing, or alternative strategies are required. Ensures a risk-free product launch in the target markets. By conducting an FTO Search early, businesses can protect their investments, avoid costly litigations, and maintain a competitive edge. iipsearch.com
