SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Freedom-to-operate triage helps teams quickly identify potentially blocking patents for a product, process, or feature so they can make informed next-step decisions before commissioning a full legal FTO opinion.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured patent-risk first pass: Runs an intake workflow, then performs a preliminary search (when an external patent-research integration is available) to surface the most plausible blocking patents.
  • Claim-chart-first triage: Builds an element-by-element first-pass claim chart for 2–5 most plausible patents, separating literal reading from doctrine-of-equivalents flags and noting indirect/divided infringement as issues to be reviewed by counsel.
  • Counsel-grade next steps: Produces open questions a full FTO study would resolve, including enforceability, file-wrapper/prosecution history, IPR/PGR outcomes, and enforcement history, with clear willfulness and non-lawyer gating.

Quick Start

Use the /ip-legal:fto-triage command and describe the product or feature, the key technical details, target jurisdictions, any known patents, and how close you are to launch.

Frequently Asked Questions about fto-triage

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I perform a freedom-to-operate triage before a product launch?▼

Freedom-to-operate triage runs an intake workflow to identify potentially blocking patents for a product or feature, generating preliminary claim charts to assess infringement risk before commissioning a formal legal FTO opinion.

What is element-by-element claim chart scoping for patent infringement?▼

Element-by-element claim chart scoping builds a first-pass comparison between a product and 2-5 plausible patents, separating literal reading from doctrine-of-equivalents flags and noting indirect or divided infringement issues for counsel review.

How do I find blocking patents for a new technical feature?▼

Finding blocking patents involves a structured intake workflow followed by a preliminary patent database search, surfacing the most plausible blocking patents for a product or process before launch readiness decisions.

Does freedom-to-operate triage replace a formal legal FTO opinion?▼

Freedom-to-operate triage does not replace a formal legal FTO opinion; it produces open questions for a full FTO study, including enforceability, prosecution history, and IPR/PGR outcomes, with strict willfulness and non-lawyer gating.

Can I use patent triage to flag doctrine-of-equivalents and indirect infringement risks?▼

Patent triage flags doctrine-of-equivalents risks and indirect or divided infringement issues during the first-pass claim chart generation, explicitly marking them as issues requiring further review by qualified legal counsel.

What do I need to start a patent risk first pass for launch readiness?▼

Starting a patent risk first pass requires describing the product or feature, key technical details, target jurisdictions, any known patents, and the current launch timeline to initiate the FTO intake workflow.
