Freedom-to-operate examinations for patents

Before investing in a patent application for an invention and before putting it on the market, it is essential to research that no earlier patents exist. We research this in a so called Freedom-to-operate search.

An FTO not only determines the availability of an invention, it also informs you about future innovation opportunities within a certain field of industry.
