Get patent risk clarity from just €1000

Prior Guard

At Prior Guard, we believe that every startup deserves access to clear, affordable patent risk analysis — without the legal complexity or prohibitive costs. Our service delivers freedom-to-operate (FTO) reports designed specifically for early-stage innovators. Using advanced natural language processing, semantic claim matching, and jurisdiction-specific patent data, we analyse your product or technology against existing patents to identify potential infringement risks.

From just €1000, we provide a structured, easy-to-understand report that highlights relevant patents, explains their scope, and flags areas of concern. Our goal is to empower founders with the clarity they need to move forward confidently — whether you’re preparing for investment, entering a new market, or refining your product roadmap. Our reports offer a powerful first step toward informed, risk-aware innovation. Built by technologists who understand both startups and IP strategy, Prior Guard bridges the gap between legal diligence and agile product development.
