FREEDOM TO OPERATE SEARCH

What is freedom to operate?

• Freedom to Operate refers to the legal freedom to
  sell, purchase or implement any invention or idea
  and commercialize in a specific market or
  jurisdiction without infringing other patent
  rights.
• The key to launch a patent application or bring a
  new invention to the market needs to assure the
  non-obviousness of the invention and its
  usefulness.
• If any claimed or passed patent data, prior art
  or patent literature matches with the
  specification of your proposed idea or invention,
  they become a hindrance towards your freedom to
  operate in that field, market or jurisdiction.

What is Freedom to Operate Search?

• A patent right keeps a patent or invention
  legally safe from any copy, selling or
  commercializing a certain product or ideas
  without buying the patent right from its
  inventors or invalidating it.
• Freedom to Operate Search includes all the patent
  literature, prior art, pending patents and
  literature under its search and finds out any
  obviousness or legal hazards that may come up
  before your invention.
• You might undergo thorough freedom to operate
  search before starting your invention or
  launching an idea into the market to save your
  time and hard-earned money as well as keep your
  invention safe from legal infringements.

Why should I do Freedom to Operate Analysis?

• Freedom to search analysis is important to be
  sure about the novelty of your invention. It also
  helps to find out other similar inventions in a
  particular market and helps to develop your
  ideas.
• Freedom to operate helps to find out limitations
  and opportunities to keep your invention or
  service free from legal complications.
• Patent protections are territorial, so if you can
  operate the product or service outside the
  territory, it will not infringe its legal right.

What if my Freedom to Operate is hindered?

• The first thing you do now is to either
  invalidate the prior patent or work on it. If
  your invention is similar to prior literature,
  still there are some options to sell or import it
  into the market.
• You can plan for buying patent right or selling
  it to another jurisdiction as it may not infringe
  any legal right there.
• You can also wait for the expiration of the prior
  patent or invent something different from the
  available product to establish its novelty and
  usefulness before you bring it to the market.
