What problem does it solve?
It helps you run a structured first-pass check for potentially blocking patents so you can triage launch risk before ordering a full freedom-to-operate study.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Freedom-to-operate triage (not an opinion): Produces an initial patent risk map with explicit guardrails that it never concludes “clear to launch.”
- Structured intake and jurisdiction scoping: Gathers product/process details, technical substance, jurisdictions, known patents, and timing to focus the analysis.
- Preliminary search and claim-chart first pass: Runs a lightweight preliminary patent search when an integration is available, then builds element-by-element claim charts for the most plausible utility patents.
- Open questions for counsel: Outputs what a real FTO study must resolve (enforceability, claim construction, prosecution history, licensing, and enforcement posture).
- Design-around / escalation guidance: Recommends next steps such as involving patent counsel, design-around options, and documenting willfulness considerations.
Quick Start
Ask for an FTO triage by describing the product or feature, the jurisdictions of make/use/sell/import, any known competitor patents, and how close you are to launch.
