In FTO Searches
You get patents categorized on the basis of a taxonomy which makes searching a patent for a particular feature of your product easy. Further, you can assign a level of threat– high, low or medium, a patent offers.
In Patent Portfolio Management
You can keep a real time check on competitors’ patent portfolio which will be categorized into relevant technology categories. You can monitor competitors’ activities and if you feel a threat from a patent in a particular tech category, you can consider a prior art search.
