With over 3.2 million patents in force in the US alone, failure to do so can be an expensive mistake, especially if you have committed to a research program or product launch that infringes third party intellectual property rights.
We work with clients to proactively establish Freedom to Operate within practiced or prospective technology areas by a careful analysis of market, technology and business factors. Unlike FTO services offered by law firms we take a pragmatic and business centric approach rather than one dictated by legal liability.
Because FTO activity can rapidly become an open ended and ill–defined expense area our goal is to limit FTO expenditure to areas of significant risk, to clearly identify infringement threats and to minimize their potential impact to our clients' business but on a clear, consciously set and justifiable budget.
Where infringement threats are detected we can help to define infringement response strategies, assist with technology transfer options and actively develop technology work–arounds.
We also assist clients to resolve immediate infringement issues that may have arisen including negotiating licenses to infringing intellectual property rights or infringement mitigation responses. |
