FREEDOM TO OPERATE CLEARANCE FREEDOM TO
PRACTICE
Identifying patents that may be enforced against
a product or service offering is the crux of this
search. In this regard, it is extremely
important to understand that even if the product
is covered under a patent owned by the
proprietor, there may be components of the
product that may be covered by a different patent
owned by someone else, which may jeopardize the
business built around the product. The FTO
search is designed to extract such relevant
patents. Thus, it is advantageous to conduct
such a search well ahead of a product launch, and
continue to do the search until the day of the
launch. This search idea may be extended to
other forms of intellectual property rights as
well, including trademarks, industrial designs
etc. For this situation, it is important to
understand the territorial nature of intellectual
property rights , as well as what makes an IPR
enforceable.

PATENT LANDSCAPE
A birds eye overview of all the existing patents
for a certain situation is referred to as a
patent landscape. This involves searching for
patents in a specific technology domain, or
belonging to a particular organization, or
emanating from a specific region, or from an
inventor. The possibilities of conducting the
search are endless.

PATENT LANDSCAPE
The possibilities of conducting the search are
endless. Subsequently, based on the
understanding and the requirement of the
situation, the entire set of patents may then be
suitably classified and clustered. This requires
a deep understanding of the technology and other
aspects of the search parameters. Ultimately,
the depiction of the information gleaned from
such a search and analysis can be used in a
variety of critical decision making situations.
Exemplary situations include technology trends,
research focus over time, white space or gap
analysis, understanding the players in the field,
focus of research development, active
researchers in the field, and so on.
