Freedom to Operate (FTO) Search Unveiled
Avoiding Legal Storms, Securing Smooth Sailing: Imagine embarking on a journey without checking the weather forecast. An FTO search is your pre-emptive weather check, assessing the claims language of third-party patents to gauge the risk of infringement. It’s essential for securing smooth sailing by identifying any potential barriers before they become legal storms.
