Freedom to operate analysis

We assess whether your innovation can be developed and commercialised with reduced intellectual property risk in your target market.

5,000 euros per FTO analysis

Why this service?	Launching an innovative product without understanding the existing intellectual property landscape can expose your company to significant legal and commercial risks. A Freedom to Operate (FTO) analysis helps identify existing patents and potential restrictions that could impact the development, manufacturing or commercialisation of your technology. It provides a clearer understanding of your risk exposure and supports informed strategic decisions before entering the market, engaging investors or scaling your innovation.
How it works?	We start by analysing your technology, product or process together with its intended market and application areas. We then conduct a targeted review of the relevant patent landscape to identify existing intellectual property rights that may represent potential risks or constraints. Based on this analysis, we assess the level of exposure and identify possible strategic options, including design-around opportunities or alternative approaches where relevant. Throughout the process, we maintain a practical and business-oriented approach focused on actionable insights rather than unnecessary legal complexity.
What do you get?	You receive a detailed report presenting the relevant intellectual property landscape, identified risks and strategic recommendations. The deliverables typically include: an overview of relevant patents and patent holders, identification of potential risk areas, assessment of the level of exposure, strategic recommendations and possible mitigation options, a consultation session to discuss the results and next steps. The objective is to help you make informed business and innovation decisions with greater clarity and confidence.
