By means of an FTO analysis, you can ensure that the development, manufacture and marketing of a product does not infringe the existing patent rights of other companies.<\/p>\n<p>I support my clients in recognizing and assessing potential IP risks at an early stage by thoroughly researching and examining relevant patents and applications. Based on this analysis, I develop a comprehensive assessment of the freedom to operate and, if necessary, alternative strategies for circumventing critical intellectual property rights.<\/p>\n<p>I advise you on the legal and strategic aspects of the FTO analysis so that your product development remains within the scope of the applicable patent rights. My aim is to give you the certainty that your investment in innovation will not be jeopardized by unforeseen legal disputes.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_parent col-lg-4
