Ongoing IP advice
Ongoing IP advice when you need it
AIPS gives you access to IP expertise through individual projects or an ongoing collaboration with agreed capacity. We connect technology, protection and business goals, and help you prioritise the next step.
For development teams and technology companies
For product development agencies, research groups and companies with in-house development teams, AIPS can contribute at project start and at key milestones.
FTO (freedom to operate) is an assessment of your room to act in relation to other parties' patent rights. An initial search is not a full FTO assessment, and no search can guarantee a risk-free launch.
- Map existing technology, new results and questions of ownership.
- Use patent literature as decision support before choosing a concept.
- Identify possible inventions and assess patents, design rights or trade secrets.
- Clarify protection needs before a demo, publication or launch.
- Assess the need for FTO and carry out agreed searches.
- Plan further filing work, costs and follow-up.
