Identifying patients 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.
A bird’s 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 for 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, the focus of research & development, active
researchers in the field, and so on.
