Guided answer
Do I need a freedom to operate study?
Whether the launch question applies to you, and how wide it needs to be.
Are you about to sell, manufacture or import a product?
This is educational guidance, not personalised legal advice. It cannot see your documents, your dates or the prior art, and those are usually what decide the answer. Use it to understand the question, then take advice on your own facts.
Not sure whether this applies to your invention?
The honest answer usually needs someone to look at your actual disclosure, your timeline and the prior art. That is a conversation, not an article.
