Testimonials

What our customers are saying

Going back to FTO without Clearstone is a great eye opener for just how much more efficient the FTO exercise is with Clearstone and that is before even considering the increased safety and quality.

Best tool ever made for IP in my opinion.

Patent Counsel
Formerly at global sportswear company, after joining new company without Clearstone FTO

It is simply the best product on the market and I must have it.

IP Counsel
Medical Device Company

If I could wave a magic wand and create the exact system I wanted, it would essentially be this system.

IP Portfolio Manager & Patent Attorney
Global Glass Manufacturer

It’s not often that you come across new technology that is a game changer for an in-house IP department. But Clearstone’s FTO platform is that.

Patrick Traister
Chief Intellectual Property Counsel, Braskem

We’re in a stronger position because of the competitive monitoring we’ve been able to do with Clearstone FTO.

Senior IP Counsel
Global Medical Device Company

The Clearstone FTO Platform makes the FTO process easy and intuitive. It enabled us to easily recall our notes, comments and earlier determinations regarding a previously searched reference which helped to ensure analysis quality and reduced the chance of missing a claim while saving considerable time in completing the analysis.
