Turn product details into a reviewable search strategy, focused patent candidates, and evidence your IP team can take further.
Give the R&D and IP teams a shared first step before product launch, market entry, or a deeper legal review.
Eureka FTO turns technical descriptions into structured product features, so the search begins with a clearer view of what matters.

Start a free screenFTO review starts with what the product does. Eureka structures technical facts, expands the search beyond familiar terminology, screens patent candidates, and connects relevant claims back to the product evidence your team needs to review.
What Eureka Does
Eureka turns your technical description into structured product features, capturing components, relationships, operating steps, and functional details. It also identifies information that may need clarification before the search begins.
What you get
A shared, reviewable definition of the product scope, so R&D, product, and IP teams start from the same technical facts.
What Eureka Does
Eureka expands each product feature into related terminology, including synonyms, broader and narrower concepts, technical alternatives, and patent-language variations.
What you get
A richer search vocabulary that goes beyond the terms your team already knows and reduces dependence on a single keyword.
What Eureka Does
Eureka combines product features, expanded terminology, classifications, semantic retrieval, citation signals, and iterative query logic into a structured FTO search strategy across selected markets.
What you get
A transparent search path that shows how patent candidates were retrieved, refined, and added to the review scope.
What Eureka Does
Eureka screens broad retrieval results using technical relevance, patent status, jurisdiction, classification, and available product context to reduce obvious noise.
What you get
A focused candidate set that helps the IP team spend time on references that deserve closer review.
What Eureka Does
Eureka compares selected patent claims with the relevant product features, connecting claim elements to product facts, patent specifications, drawings, and supporting evidence.
What you get
A clearer basis for identifying potential relevance, missing information, and questions that require further IP or counsel review.
What Eureka Does
Eureka organizes selected references, jurisdiction and status context, claim comparisons, product facts, evidence links, and unresolved questions into a structured FTO report.
What you get
A review-ready evidence package that helps product, R&D, IP, and external counsel align on the next action.
Eureka FTO helps your team see where the search starts, how it develops, what it finds, and the evidence behind every result worth reviewing.
170+ Patent jurisdictions and regions covered.
Search across patent data from 170+ countries and regions, with frequently refreshed information to support review across your target markets.
Inspect the keywords, combined queries, and candidate sources behind the result set — not just a final patent list.

An FTO, or Freedom to Operate, search helps a team identify third-party patent rights that may be relevant to making, using, selling, or importing a product in selected markets. It is typically used before product development milestones, launch, market entry, or deeper professional review. An FTO search is a decision-support step, not a legal conclusion.
A patentability or novelty search asks whether an invention may be new enough to seek patent protection. An FTO search asks whether third-party patent rights may be relevant to commercializing a particular product or technical solution. A product can potentially be patentable while still raising FTO questions.
Not necessarily. Filing or owning a patent does not by itself determine whether a product may be covered by third-party patent rights. Your patent may protect one aspect of an invention, while another party’s patent claims may still be relevant to how the product is made, used, or sold.
Start when the product concept is specific enough to describe its key technical features and target markets. Starting early gives the team more room to refine the solution, gather missing facts, or prepare focused questions for IP and legal review before a major launch or market-entry decision.
No. Eureka FTO helps teams search for patent references, compare product features with patent content, and organize source-backed evidence. Whether a product infringes a patent is a legal question that depends on jurisdiction, claim interpretation, and specific product facts, and should be assessed by qualified IP professionals.
No. No search can guarantee that every potentially relevant patent right has been identified. Published information, jurisdictional differences, pending applications, and product complexity can all affect the review. Eureka FTO makes the search path and evidence more structured and reviewable.
Yes. Eureka FTO helps R&D, product, and IP teams complete a structured first-pass review and prepare a clearer handoff. It can help experts prioritize their work, but it does not replace specialist legal analysis or a formal legal opinion.
