Product Clearance | Freedom to Operate Search (FTO Search)

I conduct freedom to operate search for product clearance to review the patents in a specific geography. This review of patents covers the active patents that can create obstacles during the launch of new products. Companies interested in new product launches opt for conducting FTO patent searches to avoid a scenario of potential patent infringement. The main difference between an FTO search and other patent searches is that the FTO analysis is aimed at a particular geography or jurisdiction. This is so because patent rights are territorial in nature and accordingly, companies opt for multiple freedom to operate searches depending on the various countries where new products are to be launched.
