As you sit at your desk, staring at the latest prototype of your invention, you can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anxiety. You know that your product has the potential to disrupt the market, to solve a problem that nobody else has solved yet. You also know that your product is not entirely original and that it builds on some existing technologies and concepts. You wonder: what if someone else has already patented something similar? What if you invest time, money, and resources into this project, only to face a legal challenge that could bankrupt you?
You need to find out if you have the Freedom to Operate (FTO). You need to know if your invention infringes any existing patents in the relevant countries. You need to assess the risk of litigation. You need to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with this project, to pivot, or to abandon it.
That’s where an FTO search comes in. An FTO search is like a detective investigation, a treasure hunt, and a crystal ball all rolled into one. It requires expertise, experience, and access to reliable databases and tools. It involves analysing patent claims, specifications, drawings, and legal precedents. It entails interpreting complex technical jargon, identifying relevant prior art, and weighing legal opinions.
An FTO search can save you from costly mistakes, legal disputes, and missed opportunities. It can help refine your invention, avoid infringing on other people’s intellectual property, and enhance your bargaining power in licensing negotiations. It can also give you peace of mind, knowing that you have done your due diligence, explored your options, and made an informed decision.
So, if you are a startup founder, an inventor, a product manager, or a business leader, and you want to maximize your chances of success, don’t neglect the importance of an FTO search. Request a quote today and unlock the power of knowledge.

PatWorld is a professional patent database for R&D that provides users with access to millions of patents from around the world.

Vascular Perfusion Solutions, Inc. is a medical technology company based in San Antonio, Texas. They are developing the VP.S ENCORE® designed to have a significant impact on patients awaiting lifesaving or life-altering transplant surgeries by extending the viability of organs outside the body, and by extending the time for transport compared to traditional ice cooler technology. The goal in developing the VP.S ENCORE® includes the ability to expand the donor organ pool, optimizing matching of the donor organs, and to minimize rejection. VPS believes that machine perfusion devices for preserving organs should be simple, portable, and accessible to all patients needing a lifesaving organ. Evidence-based science is the root of what they do, and they use science and engineering to provide simple, elegant, and effective solutions to preserving the life of organs beyond the standard of care.
On April 19th, Vascular Perfusion Solutions competed in the 3rd annual BioFest Invest Event hosted by BiomedSA. BioFest Invest is a pitch competition for Texas bioscience companies to present their life changing products to potential investors, network among the MedTech industry, and learn from industry professionals. VPS pitched among 13 other bioscience companies from the greater Texas area. VPS was represented by Research Engineer, Isabella Cano, who has been part of the team since June 2021. The pitch presented the impact of the lifesaving technology of the VP.S ENCORE® and its competitive advantages. Vascular Perfusion Solutions received the best pitch award among all the competitors and was awarded a prize package of $10,000, SBIR consulting, a marketing strategy consult, a press release, and a membership to PatWorld.
Isabella and the team at VPS were delighted to receive the prize from PatWorld. To ensure they could get the most out of the platform, we delivered a personalised demo that was tailored to their specific needs.
