The best time to do a Freedom to Operate search (FTO) is at the time of designing the new product because it is easier to make changes in the product specifications and the infringement risk can be minimized or nullified easily at an early stage of product development.
Should FTO Search be Jurisdiction specific?

FAQs
Why should Validity and Invalidity search be performed?
Though the steps to perform Patent Validity or Invalidity search are the same, the purpose and outcome may be different. Invalidity search is performed to identify the grounds on the basis of which a patent can be opposed or revoked whereas validation search is primarily performed to find out how strong the patent is compared to the prior art and how strong is it to sustain litigation.
What is the difference between validity and invalidity search
When a search is conducted to validate the claims of a given patent, it is called a Patent Validity search and when it is used to invalidate the claims of a given patent then it is called Patent Invalidity Search. Other than prior art in the form of patents, this search also includes the non-patent literature.
How is Validity/Invalidity search useful at the time of patent licensing?
At the time of patent licensing, results of Validity/Invalidity search are extremely important and can really change the way royalty negotiations take place. Here patent claims are compared with claims of prior art to give a clear picture about strength of the patent. If the patent is found to be very close or similar to existing prior art, it may not be a strong patent. Or we can say that it will be easy to challenge validity of such patent. This is how the results of this search may play a vital role at negotiation table.

How is Patent Watch or Patent Alerts useful for business?
Patent alerts help companies to keep themselves updated with respect to the latest developments in the core areas of their technologies to get valuable information, such as:
- New products and processes for which patent applications have been filed, helping companies build their own products in a better manner.
- A thorough analysis of existing patents, which may be useful to assess the chances of getting a patent for core technologies or new ideas by gauging the novelty, non-obviousness, and industrial applicability of existing inventions.
- Information about published applications can help companies who might want to oppose these applications.
- New markets or new technologies that other companies are focussing on. This might provide the company with an overview of the kind of products other companies are planning to launch in given markets.
What are different ways to do Patent Watch?
Patent Watch could be based on Technology or Competitors:
Technical Patent Watch: Here, the core technology (ies) of interest may be listed out, and related published patent applications or granted patents may be monitored in a technical area of interest. The latest prosecution status of pending patent applications may be monitored making it easier to keep in touch with the latest happenings in the industry. Interesting patents that may be used and implemented to add value to existing products or technologies can also be listed out and explored.
Such patents may be considered for in-licensing. However, if they are not filed in the jurisdiction of interest or they don’t have a chance to be filed in the jurisdiction of interest, these patents may be used without any fear of infringement. When proceeding on this route, it is highly recommended to take the opinion of an expert on the legal status of such patent (s) before implementation.
Competitor Patent Watch: Understanding the patent portfolio and patent activities of competitors may be of great business value to companies. For this purpose, competitor companies are listed out, and their newly published patent applications or granted patents are monitored on a periodic basis. The companies can also monitor the latest prosecution statuses of pending or granted patent applications of competitor companies.
What databases are used to perform Patent Watch search?
Even though several free tools exist, we, at Origiin use paid tools to perform a patent search which results in more authentic and reliable outcome.
