Product & Invention Profile
Structure the innovation, claim-relevant features, alternatives, own IP, development stage and target markets.
Define the casePlatform
From freedom to operate
to freedom to innovate.
Global Patents is building an expert-guided intelligence workflow that turns product context and patent evidence into clearer FTO decisions—and creates a foundation for continuous innovation intelligence.
How It Works
Start with the product.
Not the patent database.
02
Search Design
Translate product risk axes into explainable search concepts, expansion terms, patent classes and query bundles.
Design the search03
Preliminary FTO
Surface prioritized patent-family evidence and map where potential market concerns require verification.
Map the landscape04
Review & Refine
Correct assumptions, label relevance and create new search iterations while preserving prior work.
Expert feedback loop05
Final FTO
Freeze the reviewed iteration and turn the evidence into a stakeholder-ready clearance picture.
Decision support06
Strategic Actions
Move from assessment into clearance, design-around, licensing, white-space, challenge and monitoring workstreams.
Act on intelligence01 / Product & Invention Profile
A durable model of
the innovation.
FTO starts with understanding what is actually being built. The Product & Invention Profile captures the technical and commercial context that determines what should be searched—and why.

SEARCH CONTEXTLanguages, horizon, competitors and background documentation
02–04 / Search, Evidence & Refinement
Explainable search.
Iterative evidence.
Search concepts remain linked to the product features that caused them to be searched.Global Patents begins by building a structured Product & Invention Profile.
Feature-linked search conceptsExpansion terms, classifications and query bundles remain connected to the underlying product risk axis.
Territorial evidencePotential concerns are organized against selected markets while unresolved territorial evidence remains visible for review.
Structured relevance feedbackRatings, irrelevant decisions, matched terms and classifications inform subsequent refinement.
Versioned iterationsNew search iterations preserve the prior search record instead of overwriting the analytical history.
05 / Final FTO
From evidence to a
clearance picture.
The reviewed search iteration can be frozen into a stakeholder-facing assessment. The platform keeps an explicit boundary between retrieval evidence, legal-status information and the professional judgment required for legal conclusions.
Reviewed EvidencePrioritized patent-family findings and supporting source context.
Market ContextTarget-market evidence separated from collateral landscape findings.
Legal ReviewClaim scope, enforceability and legal conclusions remain subject to professional review.
Decision PathMove from risk analysis toward clearance, design, licensing or challenge work.
06 / Strategic Actions
FTO should lead
to action.
The current product direction extends the finalized FTO evidence set into downstream workstreams—turning analysis into launch, design, transaction and monitoring decisions.
ClearanceRecord launch conditions and remaining legal checks.
Design-aroundExplore alternative embodiments against claim mappings.
LicensingIdentify owners, territories and negotiation priorities.
White SpaceMap underserved technical and claim territory.
ChallengeAssess strategic responses to potentially blocking rights.
MonitoringTrack family, status, claim amendments and national phases.
FTO is the beachhead. Intelligence is the platform.

Innovation Intelligence
Confidential AI Infrastructure
Your innovation
remains your innovation.
Global Patents is designed for workflows that can involve unpublished inventions, product architecture, claim-relevant features, legal strategy and commercially sensitive market plans. Privacy and confidentiality therefore belong in the platform architecture—not as an afterthought.
Evidence-driven. Expert-guided. Confidential by design.
The platform is designed so sensitive customer and case information can be processed within a controlled AI infrastructure and is not used to train AI models.
01
Protected data environment
Sensitive information is handled within protected processing environments designed for confidential professional workflows.
02
No training on customer data
Client documents, inventions, searches and case information are not used to train AI models.
03
Data isolation
Customer and case information is designed to remain segregated from unrelated organizations and workspaces.
04
Controlled AI processing
Sensitive information is handled through defined processing paths rather than treated as public AI input.
05
Access & traceability
Controlled access, accountability and traceability support professional IP and legal workflows.
Global Patents is designed as compliance-oriented AI infrastructure for confidential legal, patent and R&D workflows.
Human in the Loop
AI accelerates.
Experts decide.
Global Patents is designed as decision support for complex IP workflows. AI can accelerate retrieval, organization, comparison and evidence synthesis; qualified professionals remain responsible for legal interpretation, risk assessment and final conclusions.
01Define Scope
Experts establish the product, technical and territorial question.
02AI-Assisted Research
The platform accelerates retrieval, structuring and evidence synthesis.
03Review Evidence
Qualified professionals inspect relevance, claims, status and context.
04Expert Decision
Legal interpretation, risk assessment and final conclusions remain human-led.
Design Principle
Built for evidence, not eloquence.
Global Patents
From patent evidence
to innovation decisions.
For life-science design partners, patent professionals, investors and strategic collaborators.
