Clearstone FTO
Accelerate patent clearance and product development with a centralized freedom-to-operate workflow management platform that builds leverageable institutional knowledge.
Review patents faster than ever before
With Clearstone FTO's integrated patent review interface, you can make determinations on a claim-by-claim basis with instant, real-time synchronization in shared reviews. Highlight claim text, annotate, tag, and comment seamlessly.
No spreadsheets needed, but you can export instantly to Word or Excel if you really want to.
Don't Reinvent the wheel: Leverage your Prior Analysi
Patent clearance analysis is product-specific, but Clearstone FTO's unique review architecture enables you to leverage prior work for current projects so you can avoid duplicative effort and so that claim positions are consistent.
Building institutional knowledge around freedom-to-operate is now automatic and intuitive.
Share Patent Reviews with Role-Based Access
Easily share patent reviews with colleagues, counsel, engineers, or business heads. Anyone with a Clearstone FTO account, free or premium, can receive and contribute to a shared review.
With special access profiles for technical and legal reviewers, you decide who gets access to your shared reviews, and how much access they have.
Integrate Product Development for Effective Clearance and Demonstrable Diligence
Our product-centric approach makes it easy to integrate your product development cycle into a comprehensive freedom-to-operate and clearance process. Associate patent reviews to specific products and aspects, and quickly access historical product analyses. Clearstone FTO gives you a robust repository for demonstrable diligence.
Review a set of patents against several product variations or product lines at the same time with the ability to make different determinations for different products. Clearstone FTO's Multi-Product Review feature makes this process intuitive and highly functional.
Product Management is available in Professional and Enterprise accounts.
Multi-Dimensional REcord-Keeping
It's all connected. Patents, products, documents, reviews - all navigable and manipulable in a single platform for unprecedented agility and insight. Custom reports, real-time graphical status indicators, and workflow management bring it all together.
Secure Technology
With state-of-the-art security features and access-anywhere technology, it's no wonder that in-house legal departments and law firms are increasingly adopting cloud-based services for critical collaborative activities.
Clearstone FTO uses industry-leading encryption and authorization technology to safeguard your work. Confidentiality and privacy are essential to any legal and R&D work, and our platform makes no exception.
