Freedom to Operate Search
What is Freedom to Operate (FTO) Search?
A Freedom to Operate (FTO) Search is a comprehensive analysis conducted to determine whether a product, process, or technology can be developed, manufactured, or sold without infringing on existing third-party patents. The goal is to assess the risk of patent infringement before launching a new product in a specific market.
What Is It Good For?
- Stay out of legal hot water by not infringing on anyone else's patents with your own goods, procedures, or technology.
- Minimise Legal Concerns: Recognise possible patent disputes in advance to devise plans to prevent infringement or negotiate licensing.
- Strategic Planning: Incorporate the findings into all aspects of your company's strategy, including product development, market entry, and overall direction.
