ClearstoneIP

Workflow-native AI platform for patent freedom-to-operate

Visit official site →

About

ClearstoneIP's Clearstone FTO is a purpose-built platform for freedom-to-operate work, bringing in-house patent teams, R&D, and outside counsel into one shared review environment. Its FirstPass AI generates review-ready, claim-level analysis across patent result sets — the company says beta users cut review time roughly in half — while structured statuses and privilege protections preserve attorney judgment. It is niche but genuinely workflow-driven, which FTO practitioners will appreciate; casual patent searchers will find it overkill.

  • Claim-by-claim digital review
  • Design-around identification
