| Abstract: | A comprehensive
Freedom to Operate (FTO) analysis requires analysing all forms of valid
intellectual property (IP) rights and associated agreements and contracts to
ensure that development or launch of any particular product/process in a
particular market, in a particular country does not infringe any IP right of
third party. FTO opinion is usually a legal advice; however, R&D
organizations engaged in frequent patenting may also need to develop their
in-house capability for
FTO analysis. This paper illustrates methodology for FTO analysis, limited to
patent rights. |
