Freedom to Operate

Are you about to launch a new product to a new market? Freedom to operate assesses the possibilities to use a technology commercially. Are you certain that your product does not infringe the intellectual property rights of others – possibly in another country or region?

FTO analysis: Establish if you have the freedom to operate

A freedom to operate analysis starts with a search for patents and pending patent applications drawn up to embrace the technology on which you would like to confirm your freedom to operate. Thus, a freedom to operate search produces a list of potentially pertinent rights.

Our freedom to operate report may give clear indications as to whether you infringe one or more patents – or not. Additionally, we may give recommendations as to how you may “design around”, or oppose the validity of, any rights considered to pose threats to your technology.
