Worried your product might infringe a patent – but not a patent expert?

PatCheck lets engineers run a simple, guided risk evaluation (Freedom-to-Operate)– without expensive attorneys or complex professional tools.

Research relevant patents in public databases like Espacenet and upload them to PatCheck.
Follow the guided step-by-step process and see whether any patent poses a risk to your product.

The Engineer-Driven Patent Check

You know your product and its technology best.
PatCheck gives you a clear, guided path to assess potential patent risks early –
and all that without any special patent knowledge.

With PatCheck, you can:
• identify where patents and your product might overlap
• detect early if a patent could become critical
• know exactly when it’s time to bring in a patent attorney

➡ PatCheck helps you assess risks – before it gets expensive.

Why PatCheck? Because you need answers – not patent jargon.

As a technician, developer, or inventor, you’re the one who understands the product and its technology best.
PatCheck leads you to a clearly structured feature list.

With this list, you can reliably judge whether each feature is:
➡ “not used,”
➡ “already known to the skilled person,” or
➡ “worth a closer look.”

Where PatCheck helps you most

Identify which patents you can safely ignore
Most patents aren’t a threat – but that’s hard to see at first glance.
PatCheck guides you systematically through the technical features of the claims.

Avoid unnecessary costs
Engineering-driven patent assessment means:
You perform the technical pre-check, and PatCheck guides you through the process.
Only when something becomes truly “tight” do you go to an attorney –
with clear questions, clear feature lists, and clear results.

➡ This saves a huge amount of time.
➡ And cuts costs dramatically.

PatCheck is not like a professional IP tool – and that’s exactly its strength

Traditional patent software is made for:
patent attorneys, IP experts, full-time patent managers.
But you:

• don’t have time for patents
• have had no training
• use such tools too rarely to master them
• don’t have the budget for expensive software
• don’t need 300 features – you need clarity

PatCheck is made for you:

• for practice, not theory
• for everyday work, not statistics
• open it, use it, done – no training required
