FREEDOM-TO-OPERATE ANALYSIS

As a part of intellectual property audit or as a separate study, “freedom to operate” (FTO) allows you to commercialize your experiments, products or services avoiding illegal use of technology protected by another person. The minimized risk ensures that production, marketing and use of a new product, process or service do not infringe intellectual property rights of others.

FTO search and analysis offer you potential opportunities and improve your chances of attracting new partners and investors to support your business development. FTO can help you to obtain start-up financing from different innovation funds, as well as to develop strategies (product scope, purchase or filing of patents, purchase of in-licensing, cross-licence or work-around).

For today’s fast developed technologies any F2O analysis must be considered „out of date“ after 3 – 6 months. To avoid such situation, „PETERSONA PATENTS“ has developed „Active F2O“ (AF2O - LV Patent No. 13671), which allows a permanent monitoring of your main competitors' patent activities on the market, new product and R&D activities.

On CD you are able to ensure online patent searches in EPO and USPTO databases, main search engines as Google, Rambler, Kompass etc., specialized databases as DGENE, SciSearch and your main competitors' home pages.
