Freedom to Operate / Clearance Opinions: Practical risk analysis so you can ship, partner, or enter the U.S. with eyes open.

Before launching a product, entering a new market, or closing a partnership deal, you need to understand the patent landscape you're walking into. Hope IP conducts freedom to operate searches and prepares clearance opinions that identify relevant patents, assess infringement risk, and provide a realistic view of your exposure. The work is designed to support business decisions, not create paralysis.

Hope IP focuses the analysis on what matters. The firm searches for active patents that could plausibly cover your technology, evaluates the strength of potential infringement claims, and assesses the likelihood and cost of enforcement. Not every patent in the space presents real risk. Some have narrow claims, weak validity, or owners unlikely to assert. Hope IP distinguishes between patents you need to address and noise you can disregard. The opinion gives you options: proceed as planned, modify the design to avoid specific claims, or seek a license. You'll make the call with a clear understanding of the risks and alternatives
