Freedom to Operate Search (also known as Right to Operate)
Freedom to Operate Searches are delivered within 3 - 5 business days.
These patent searches identify potential patent barriers to the commercialization of products or technologies. Noro IP will identify published applications and unexpired patents that could possibly indicate a risk of infringing upon an already disclosed invention, product or process. Our search will also help our clients determine if the product or service they are pursuing is in the public domain. We can focus solely on US patents and published documents or we can enlarge our scope to include foreign patent documents.
All Freedom to Operate Searches undergo Noro IP’s thorough quality assurance checks before they are delivered to our clients.
Freedom to Operate Searches include the following:
- A search of US and foreign patent documents unless otherwise specified
- A search of patent related literature, non-patent literature and various art specific publications, journals and databases
- A copy of our patent specialist’s search history, which includes keywords used and classification areas search
- A mapping of the identified reference features to the client’s provided inventive features
- Noro IP’s Patent Comparison Matrix which will help you analyze claims and identify competitive advantages
- PDF (electronic) copies of all identified patent documents
