FTO Check

Before taking a product into a new market, or copying / selling it cross-border, spend 3 minutes mapping the patent risk behind it — marking pages, families, same-category prior art and multi-jurisdiction, all swept in one pass.

Freedom-to-Operate · One-click global patent-risk search

A product's global patent risk,
mapped in half a day.

Hand a product link or photos to the AI agent. It searches 4 lanes in parallel — brand entity, same-source patents, same-category prior art, across jurisdictions — wired directly into official registries like USPTO + EUIPO, and produces a two-layer (A: your own / B: third-party) FTO report.

What is an AI-assisted patent search?

An AI-assisted patent search is a preliminary prior-art screening workflow that helps legal and product teams find patents and published applications relevant to an invention or product before deeper analysis. It extracts the core invention concepts, runs structured searches across patent databases such as USPTO and EPO / Espacenet, follows patent families, and organizes the most relevant utility and design references into an attorney-reviewable packet — with the search trajectory shown step by step. It accelerates the repetitive search-and-organize work; it does not replace a patent attorney’s judgment. It is not a patentability opinion or a freedom-to-operate opinion, and it does not guarantee that every relevant reference has been found. Use it for early issue-spotting and to brief counsel faster.

Who it’s for

Patent attorneys & IP boutiques

“Search work is repetitive but still needs judgment — I want a structured first pass before I bill analysis time.”

In-house IP & product teams

“We need to spot patent and design-patent risk early, before we commit to a launch.”

Companies evaluating an invention

“Does something like this already exist? I need a fast, organized prior-art read to brief counsel.”

Cross-border e-commerce teams

“I don’t want to find out about a US patent or design-patent problem after the product is already live.”

How the AI-assisted workflow helps

1
Intake the invention or product
Drop a product link, photos, or a short description. The agent extracts the core technical and design features it will search on.
2
Search across patent databases
It runs structured queries across USPTO and EPO / Espacenet, follows patent families, and pulls candidate utility and design references — showing each search step.
3
Organize & compare references
Relevant references are grouped, the closest ones compared feature by feature, and the reasoning kept visible for review.
4
Hand a packet to counsel
You get a structured, source-linked report a patent attorney can review and build on — not a final opinion.

What you get

✓A source-linked prior-art report grouping the most relevant utility and design references
✓The step-by-step search trajectory, so the work is auditable
✓Feature-by-feature comparison notes on the closest references
✓An attorney-reviewable packet you can hand to patent counsel
✓Coverage across USPTO + EPO / Espacenet patent families (more registers connecting)

What it is not

Clear about the boundaries:

Not a patentability opinion and not a freedom-to-operate opinion.
Does not guarantee that all relevant prior art has been found.
Preliminary, AI-assisted screening — lawyer review is recommended before any decision.
For informational and workflow-support purposes only; not legal advice.

Patent search FAQ

Is this a freedom-to-operate (FTO) opinion?

No. It is a preliminary, AI-assisted prior-art search that organizes relevant references into an attorney-reviewable packet. A freedom-to-operate opinion is a legal conclusion that should come from a patent attorney.

Will it find every relevant patent?

No search — human or AI — can guarantee that all prior art is found. The workflow is built for fast, structured first-pass screening and issue-spotting, with the search trajectory shown so counsel can see what was and was not covered.

Which databases does it search?

It searches official registries including USPTO and EPO / Espacenet and follows patent families (EP / WO / JP / KR). Additional registers such as CNIPA and UKIPO designs are connecting.

Can it check design-patent / appearance risk?

Yes. For physical products it can take photos or a listing link and compare the design against registered design patents, alongside utility references.

Does it replace a patent attorney?

No. It accelerates the repetitive search-and-organize work and produces a structured packet; the legal judgment stays with your counsel.
