Technical feasibility is one part of a product’s journey to market. Even a promising, innovative technology can face third-party patent rights that complicate development, manufacturing, or commercialization.
This webinar introduces Freedom to Operate (FTO) and how it can help identify potential patent risks early. Using a specific case example, we will guide participants through the key steps of an FTO assessment. Participants will learn how to approach an initial assessment themselves, what they can realistically do on their own, and when specialist support may be needed.
The webinar will provide a practical understanding of how FTO can support product development and market-entry decisions.
