Freedom to operate analysis (FTO)

Before launching a new product or starting a new business activity, it is important to determine whether the planned solution may involve third-party patents that could restrict your freedom to operate. An FTO search gives your company insight into potential patent risks and supports decision-making based on reliable information.

Berggren helps identify and analyse third-party patents that are relevant to your company and assess the risks associated with them. The search helps you understand your freedom to operate, plan risk management and make informed decisions to support product development, launches, market entry or negotiations.

Benefits:

• Insight into your freedom to operate

• Better visibility into potential patent risks

• More systematic risk management

• Fact-based decision-making

• More effective allocation of costs

An FTO search supports safe business development and helps anticipate patent-related risks before they affect growth, commercialisation or market entry.
