Livestream: Freedom to operate

Venue

Online

Description

This one day seminar is mainly addressed to experienced or intermediate level patent attorneys and aims at providing insight on a freedom-to-operate (FTO) analysis which helps to identify risks involved in bringing a product to market in a country in which you wish to do so, without infringing existing third-party rights.

Our speakers, Olaf Ungerer and Colin McCarney, will present typical steps of an FTO analysis, what you should pay particular attention to, how to develop a search strategy, how to define a search object, how to link search terms, how to interpret patent claims, and how to evaluate found hits and what legal bypass options there are. This seminar will be moderated by Andreas Winter.

There is no opportunity to raise questions when participating in the livestream. You can only watch and listen. 

Target group

The seminar is intended for patent attorneys, heads and members of patent and legal departments and attorneys at law.
