Case Study: Climeon achieves freedom-to-operate and a stronger IP position with PatSnap

Climeon - Customer Case Study

Climeon, a clean‑tech company that converts industrial waste heat and low‑temperature geothermal heat into electricity, needed to understand competitors and the patent landscape, build business cases early in R&D, and confirm freedom to operate. To address these challenges they adopted PatSnap’s IP analytics platform for FTO searches, competitor analysis and patent landscaping.

PatSnap was integrated into Climeon’s invention and project‑screening process to evaluate novelty, map competitors and flag IP risks; this allowed Climeon to identify the most promising ideas, decline overcrowded fields, and produce comprehensive competitor and FTO reports. The PatSnap-led approach supported Climeon’s commercial progress—helping the company grow to 50+ employees and achieve a stock‑market listing—by improving project selection and market positioning.
