Utilizing professional patent searchers, we can provide clearance (a.k.a., "freedom to use") searches.

Before a product or service is brought to market, most well-counseled entities obtain clearance searches and opinions to avoid infringing the patent rights of others, and/or to insulate against allegations of willful infringement.

A basic clearance search typically includes searching the most related technology areas for in-force (and possibly expired) US patents with claims of interest.

Advanced clearance searches can include searching for US patents classified beyond the technology area of the product of interest, and/or obtaining the prosecution history of any relevant patents.
