Before launching a new product or service or entering a new market, it is imperative to evaluate if one has “freedom to operate (FTO)”. A Freedom to Operate Search, also called a clearance search is conducted to ensure that a product or service doesn’t infringe upon any patented technologies within a given jurisdiction.
An FTO search is identifies features, subsystems, components of the product or service that may infringe on existing patents or “potential future rights” (pending patent applications).
A Freedom to Operate (FTO) Opinion, also known as a clearance opinion or non-infringement opinion, is a legal assessment provided by intellectual property (IP) attorneys or experts.

Demonstrated deeper understanding of the search
