Clearance Searches for Freedom to Operate (FTO)

In a competitive and fast-paced innovation-driven world, launching a product or service without understanding its patent risks can be a costly mistake. Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) Searches, also known as Patent Clearance Searches, are crucial to ensuring your innovation can enter the market without infringing on existing patents.

At IP Wagon, we provide comprehensive FTO Search Services, empowering businesses to mitigate risks and make informed decisions with confidence.

What is a Freedom-to-Operate (FTO) Search?

An FTO search identifies active patents that could potentially block the commercialization of your product, service, or technology in specific markets. It answers a critical question: Do you have the freedom to operate without infringing on existing patents?
