A non-provisional patent draft is a techno-legal document describing the invention in-depth and discloses the best method of carrying out the invention. Thus, also known as a complete patent application.
As per the patent law, a provisional application is a legal document filed in the Indian Patent Office or any other patent office to establish an early filing date. The provisional application allows the inventor to file a patent application without a formal patent claim, oath or declaration, or any information disclosure (prior art) statement.
IPR Studio have Patent Engineers are experienced an hep you to decide whether your product is a commercially ‘safe’ for you to make or sell your product in the country in which you wish to do so, without infringing existing third-party rights.
Freedom to Operate Search, also known as Clearance Search or Right to use search is performed to check and identify whether any in-force patents or published patent applications with claims that cover the technology, process, or product the inventor is targeting.
Simply, it is used to ascertain the freedom to operate the invention in a particular jurisdiction from a legal point of view that the product or process utilized or carried out by the inventor is not infringing on any live patent’s claim.
If during the FTO search the invention to be operated is located on a live patent then the inventor may:
Not proceed with the invention
Invalidate the relevant patent
Apply for a license for the relevant patent
Buy the relevant patent technology
Why conduct FTO Search?
To identify potential patent barriers and uncover licensing needs in commercializing the products or/and technologies.
To know countries where the patent can be applied.
To map out the technical field of the products, technologies, or processes.
To conduct patent infringement risk assessments, assess the competitors in the same field.
To evaluate the potential for “new”
Our Approach
Before the commercialization of any product/technology, it is essential to conduct a due diligence process to examine the claims of in-force patents as a means of assessing your risk of potential infringement. Thus, an FTO search/ Clearance Search is conducted to locate any granted and alive (in-force) patents or patent applications ensuring that the desired product can be pitched in a specific market (jurisdiction) without infringing or violating anyone’s intellectual property rights within that particular region/country.
Our focus:
In-force patents
Published pending patent applications
An exhaustive search on patent databases based on
Keywords based Searching,
Classification based Searching- CPC, IPC, USC, F-terms (For Japanese Patents),
Citation Search, Family Search and Semantic Search

Our IP vetrans combine their diligent searching and analyising skills along with a systematic and logical approach for conducting validity assessment searches. We aim at delivering technically detailed and comprehensive invalidity analysis at a cost-effective price.
Patent invalidity/validity search is basically the analysis to understand the strength of patent claims. A patent invalidity (or patent validity) search can be used to validate the claims made by a patent or to invalidate one or more claims of a competitor’s patent when facing a patent infringement suit. Moreover, these searches also check the strength of a granted patent while exploring licensing options.

A patent is said to be infringed when a product/process violates the rights granted to a patentee by unauthorized making, using, offering for sale or selling the patented invention.
Patent search is a search involving research to data mine the patent and non-patent literature helping the inventor to know about the existing technology before applying for his own “Patent Application”.
For national or international IP protection applicants MUST determine whether their creation is new and novel or similar to a creation owned/claimed by someone else. In order to determine this thorough research is conducted.
Boolean search is a type of patent searching that enables the users to find relevant results by combining keywords with Boolean operators. Boolean operators are used in all types of patent searching including the patentability search, validity/ invalidity search, prior art searching/ novelty search and the like.
