Infringement Check

Infringement Check (Freedom to Operate)

Checking whether your product is at risk of infringing someone’s patent is an unavoidably complex job. It involves extensive research, analysis, and in-depth patent law considerations. Even when the work is done properly, the answers are often given in legalese. This service is designed to give you honest, easily understandable strategic advice on your infringement risks. It involves an in-depth search for patents active in specific countries or regions where you might commercialise, detailed analysis of claim scope, and concrete advice on whether you infringe and how to avoid doing so.

Frequently Asked Questions

A patent search assesses whether your invention is novel enough to patent. An infringement check assesses whether your product risks infringing someone else’s existing patents. They answer different questions — one about your right to patent, the other about your right to sell.
Ideally before you invest heavily in manufacturing, tooling, or market launch. An infringement check early in the process can save significant costs by identifying risks before they become expensive problems.
The Patent Landscape package is ideal if you want a high-level understanding of the risk environment before committing to a full analysis. The Simple Invention Infringement Check is right for most products — mechanical devices, consumer electronics, etc. The Complex Invention Infringement Check is for products involving multiple technology areas, software-hardware integration, or particularly crowded patent landscapes.
