FREEDOM TO OPERATE ANALYSIS PROCESS FLOW:

技术自由实施（FTO）流程 （美国市场）

Step 1: Search for relevant patents based on multiple search terms. We perform multiple world wide searches ourselves. Depending upon the case, we may use an outside search firm.

步骤1: 基于多种关键词即不同组合检索相关专利。我们可执行全球范围检索（专利自由实施，一般会选定国家来检索和分析的）。根据具体情况而定，我们可能会使用外部检索公司。

Step 2: Review the result of the search and perform a preliminary review of the patents in the search result.

步骤2: 对检索结果进行初步筛选；

Step 3: Remove those patents that may not be relevant to the product that is being analyzed.

步骤3: 删除与被分析产品无关的专利项。

Step 4: Perform claim construction for each  independent claim of each relevant patent.

步骤4: 对每一相关专利的独立权利要求进行比对分析；

Step 5: Prepare a claim chart for each patent to analyze the product against claim elements to form an opinion if there is direct infringement.

步骤5: 为每项专利准备一份权利要求对比表，将产品和权利要求进行详细比对和分析，并出具是否存在直接侵权的意见；

Step 6: If there is no direct infringement, then we analyze for potential infringement under the Doctrine of Equivalence.

步骤6: 若不存在直接侵权，那我们会根据等同原则分析潜在的侵权行为。

Step 7: Draft an opinion letter and share with client.

步骤7:起草一份律师意见书并发给客户。
