Freedom to Operate (FTO) Search & Opinion
Companies need to ensure that they are not violating existing patents owned by others introducing a product or entering into a new market. Our FTO search and legal opinion services assist companies in avoiding potential risks by:
1. Find active patents that may be an infringement risk- We make thorough searches in worldwide patent databases to identify granted patents and pending applications that can limit market entry.
2. Offer legal opinions on possible infringement- Our legal specialists examine the scope and enforceability of applicable patents, providing clear risk evaluation of possible legal disputes.
3. Proposing design-around solutions or licensing alternatives- In case of risk of infringement, we offer alternative solutions like changing the product design, using alternative technologies, or negotiating licensing arrangements to prevent legal conflicts while maintaining business continuity.

Evidence of Use (EOU) Analysis & Claim Charts
In patent enforcement, licensing, and litigation, businesses need to determine how their patents are utilized in the marketplace. We perform a detailed analysis comparing actual products, manufacturing processes, and software implementations with patent claims. Our organized claim charts present tangible evidence of possible infringement, assisting clients in licensing negotiations, litigation, or royalty matters. With definitive EOU documentation, companies can enforce their patent rights on unauthorized users or pursue monetization through licensing contracts and settlements.
