A freedom-to-operate analysis assesses whether a product can be commercialized in a given market in light of existing third-party patent rights. Solve Intelligence helps patent teams search for relevant prior art, screen large patent sets for potential risk, and determine risk before committing to launch.
Screen for infringement risk and determine clearance.
FTO screeningScreen large numbers of patents quickly to surface the most relevant ones. Search for relevant patents, review key claims against your product’s features, and identify which patents warrant deeper analysis. Solve Intelligence speeds up first-pass review and reduces the time spent manually reading patents.
Claim element mappingGo beyond surface-level relevance. Solve Intelligence maps individual claim elements against your product’s features, generating structured, source-linked clearance charts with transparent reasoning and inline citations. Every mapping is editable and reviewable, giving attorneys full control over the final analysis.
Design-around supportWhen a claim presents potential risk, Solve Intelligence helps you identify which elements create the constraint and explore alternative implementations. Use the analysis to inform engineering discussions, document design-around rationale, and build a defensible record of your clearance process.
Capabilities
Search patents, build FTO charts, and deliver opinions.
Charts is the engine behind your FTO analysis, with chart documents and assistant connecting insights to deliverables and research.
FTO searchesIdentify active patents that may present a blocking risk to a planned or existing product, service, or technology before it reaches market. Solve Intelligence pulls from patent databases and prosecution histories to surface and rank relevant patent families with supporting citations, giving legal and product teams a structured, defensible foundation for FTO opinions, clearance decisions, and design-around strategies.
FTO chartsMap the claims of potentially blocking patents element-by-element against your product, service, or technology to establish where freedom exists, where risk remains, and where design-arounds may be needed. Solve Intelligence pulls from patent specifications, prosecution histories, and technical documentation to map claim elements with supporting citations, giving legal and product teams a structured, defensible foundation for FTO opinions, clearance decisions, and engineering recommendations.
FTO opinionsConsolidate search findings and claim chart analysis into a clear, well-evidenced opinion on whether a product, service, or technology can proceed without infringing third-party patent rights. Solve Intelligence pulls from patent databases, prosecution histories, and claim chart outputs to compile the supporting evidence with citations, giving legal and product teams a structured, defensible foundation for go/no-go decisions, design-around strategies, and risk management.
Customers
Enabling top IP teams to manage patent risk.
Solve Intelligence accelerates FTO workflows while keeping attorneys in control of the final judgement. That means faster first-pass review, clearer evidence trails, and more time spent on legal strategy rather than manual review or chart preparation.
