This Patent belongs to you
When you are looking to sell or launch a new product in the market, clearance searches will help you identify any in-force third-party patents applications that can pose a risk of potential infringement.
We work with you to understand and analyze the key features of your product and accordingly design strategies to search and identify claims elements (of relevant references) that read onto the product features. Limit search scope can lead to jurisdictions of interest. May include expired patents existing in the public domain upon request. The legal status is provided for tracking patent expirations, which can use to design the timeline for market entry, thus, mitigating the risk of infringements.

This is what freedom to operate search helps get the answer to
The search for freedom to operate should be carried out early in the product or process development cycle because it delivers two critical benefits. The first benefit is that you can better understand what freedoms your customers are looking at and how they will use them before integrating any final design features into products like software interfaces that could block certain application behaviors by accident – as we’ve seen; happen many times already.
You can avoid the wasted allocation of resources and needless spending.
Reduces the risk of time-consuming and costly future litigation.
An efficient freedom to operate patent search can provide an opportunity to inventor or company to develop a design early in the development process before large amounts of time and money have been sunk into productizing their invention.
Some inventors and companies might be concerned about the possibility of future patent litigation because they are looking for an FTO search. This is where you can get some peace of mind by licensing existing technology, which will save time in developing your patents or trademarks from scratch and reduce any risk involved with that process altogether.
When reviewing patents, it’s essential to take into account the claims. These are the parts of a patent that give it legal scope and define what can be patented or not under the law; other elements like drawings may still come in handy when there’s confusion on whether something was actually covered by one specific point within its description.
The analysis should focus primarily on these crucial points: do they match up with my needs? Can I build off them somehow? How will this impact costs (or time) if applied consistently across our products services.
The most important part of a patent is its claims, which define what it covers. These can be broken down into three categories:
An analysis of patents should examine these different aspects because they have significant implications for how much protection each individual deserves under law.
Can also conduct FTO search involving pending patent applications to provide a possible picture of the situation. Although this may assist in estimating future developments, we must keep one thing at heart: what is submitted as evidence today could change tomorrow.
These opinions are usually written by attorneys who work for companies that make up patents they want licensed from; They provide an overview into how strong those designs seem before proceeding with developing their products based on this idea.
It’s important because it assesses the validity of your patent and evaluates whether you might be able to”kill” that specific piece with an invalidation proceeding.
We will answer your questions, scope your project and discuss your potential fit in style.
After you’ve hired an IP attorney, your FTO (friendly visitor) report can be a valuable resource. It contains search results and analysis of any patents that may exist for the invention or process being developed early on in development because it gives ample time to establish workarounds should they become necessary with minimal wasted resources spent once again after having already invested into researching this subject matter extensively beforehand from scratch. The output tone should be attention seeking while still engaging readers throughout.
Design Patent protects the product’s shape, pattern, and structure. A Design Patent is conducted towards the visual appearance of a product and not the technology or function of the invention.
Industrial design rights is not able to protect the technical or functional features of a product. It only covers the appearance of the product. On the other hand, the operational or technical features of a product can be protected by a patent.
Well the answer is Yes.
Designs Registration covers external aesthetic or ornamental appearance such as color, patterns, surface, lines, or shape.
As per the Design Act, 2000, any manufactured object is known to be an “article.” The Article must be capable of being sold and made separately. The thing can be of any substance irrespective of artificial or natural.
They may seem similar (and often easily confused); a patentability search and an FTO search are quite different.
Patentability search must cover all publications, as well as prior art and non-patent literature, to discover whether the product or process at issue is novel and can indeed be patented.
On the other hand, an FTO search focuses strictly on patents since it is only active patents (and not different types of documents) that give the owners the right to go after litigation.
It is a patent search that has many names:
It is rarely called the following:
Unlike other patent searches, an FTO search is concerned only with active patents and not on prior art non-patent literature

The FTO report is a great way to find out about any potential risks. In addition, risky situations often have additional information found in the report, which may help prevent future issues and make your life easier.
A non-infringement opinion gives additional details about whether a product or process may infringe on the patent can use it to gain an understanding of what type of claims might be asserted against it and assess the strength, if any at all

An FTO opinion can be quite valuable in decreasing risks.
