Select database(s) to search -- 5. Carrying out the FTO search: A hybrid strategy using keywords and patent classification symbols -- 5.1 Overview: Search claims and abstracts first -- 5.2 Tools for designing keyword search strings -- 5.3 Develop a search string: Query creation -- 5.4 Carry out initial search and initial review -- 5.5 Modifications -- 5.6 Searching "WHERE" and "WHEN" based on the client's plans for using the invention: Adding geographical limits and time frames to search -- 5.7 Searching non-text features using specialist databases or functions -- 5.8 FTO search as an iterative process: Review, refine, repeat... stop -- 5.9 Collect the final set of search results to use for preparing the Search Report -- 6. The Search Report -- 6.1 Format the search results -- 6.2 Search Report -- Module IV FTO analysis: Reading claims and legal status information -- 1. Introduction -- 2.

Limitations and risks associated with FTO analysis and the Final Report (Module IV) -- 6. Going forward: Using the results in the Final Report -- 6.1 If FTO search and analysis of patent documents in a country of interest did not result in classifying any patent as a "patent of interest - in force" in that country -- 6.2 If FTO search and analysis of patent documents in a country of interest resulted in classifying at least one patent as a "patent of interest - in force" in that country -- 7.
