PARTS experienced personnel and network of consultants perform an extensive study and analysis of each patent in a ranking order that is the closest patents and/or publications to the claimed invention. Then, an extensive and professional written report is done to compare the differences if any between the nearest patents and the invention at hand. This analysis includes Freedom to Operate (FTO), which is an analysis to determine whether a product, technology or invention may infringe on someone else's patent claims. The goal of an FTO is to give the customer (inventor or company) a list of patents upon which their product or technology could be infringing.
