A patent clearance search, are conducted mainly to:
| ● | Establish whether a product or process infringes an unexpired patent in the country where it is planned to be commercialized. | | ● | Verify whether the patent holders can make, use, or market their innovation with no risk of infringing another holder’s unexpired patent. | | ● | And prove that the pending application under consideration does not fall within the range of an unexpired patent. |
Another reason for conducting a clearance search is to underwrite a licensee of a patent. It is vital that the patentee include, in the license agreement, a warranty of non-infringement in the license agreement. Thus, enabling you to use or sell a product. Our clearance searches help our clients gauge whether or not they can liberally operate without infringing upon a competitor’s patent.
