The FTO Freedom To Operate service is one of our special services in the practice area Inventions and Patents.
Our Freedom To Operate service prevents you from being accused of infringement and, consequently, having to withdraw a product from the market and/or facing the costs of legal proceedings as a result of interference between the new product and previous patents for invention.
The verification can also be applied to interference with other intellectual property rights such as trademarks, designs, etc. The FTO service also enables you to identify the owners of significant patents and to check the validity of these patents.
The FTO service is requested by Companies, Startups and Professionals who want to be assured of being at liberty to propose their products/services on the market (so-called “freedom to operate”), with no concern of having to suffer legal actions or pay damages to the owners of patents or other IP rights.
FTO verification is also requested in connection with participation in European calls for tenders (e.g. Horizon 2020 – SME Instruments). This is another reason why we lend our qualified expertise to lawyers or accountants for the benefit of their respective clients.
