Freedom-To-Operate (FTO) Search

To help you avoid infringement of patents, TT Consultants conduct a thorough search to identify patents and trademarks with claims that could prevent you from manufacturing or selling a certain product or practicing a process in a specific jurisdiction.

TT Consultants will help to uncover potential barriers that may require licensing or invalidation, as well as guide product design decisions and/or unveil design around technology.

Freedom-To-Operate (FTO) or Clearance Search can be conducted at any stage of product development/ life cycle thereby tracking the direction of product development and its commercialization.

The early stages of Freedom To Operate Analysis help the developers to develop non-infringing products, processes, or technology concerning the relevant patent from third parties.
