Does our technology infringe another patent?

質問

Is there a low-cost method to find out whether our technology infringes any patents? For instance, is there any software that can be used for such a purpose? Or do we necessarily have to go to a patent professional? How much would the analysis cost? Thank you!

Hi,

In cases where the matter is related to infringement and future litigation, please do not trust software at all. Patents professionals who draft a patent are much intelligent then software, so its not possible for software to find all relevant patents and in these cases a single patent could be fatal.

I will suggest to contact Patent professional for such searches. In our field this is generally called as FTO (FREEDOM TO OPERATE/LAUNCH). It comprises basically 2 steps: 1. search and 2. Authorisation from that country's patent attorney.

To minimize the cost you can outsource the search to a firm like Ours. We execute these type of searches for a number of Global attorneys.We charge a fix rate of $1400 for FTO search (for a single jurisdiction, in this case i suppose the jurisdiction is US) and provide you a detailed report along with legal status of patents and all.

Please feel free to contact me in case of a sample report for your review.

Regards,
Ashutosh
