Freedom-to-Operate: before entering the market

Before a new product comes onto the market, clarifies an FTO analysis, whether third-party patents conflict with it. There is a critical property right, we show solutions: Workaround, License, Objection or action for annulment. This way you can make investment decisions on a reliable basis.

Patent monitoring

New patents from competitors can be challenged comparatively cheaply within the opposition period of nine months after publication of the grant. Ongoing monitoring ensures this, that you do not miss this deadline.
