Patent Design-Around & Freedom-to-Operate Architect
Paste patent claims or give a patent number. Splits the independent claims into lettered limitations in code, charts your product against each one (literal and doctrine of equivalents), scores claims under the all-elements rule, and proposes 3 engineering design-arounds that each remove a limitation of every independent claim, checked in code. Leads with a decision and optional dollar exposure. A screening aid, not a freedom-to-operate opinion or legal advice.
What you get
A claim chart and design-around options to bring to counsel can narrow a formal freedom-to-operate opinion, which commonly costs $10,000 or more, and avoid a redesign after launch.
