Is it safe to build your idea?
Start-up and scale-up businesses are disproportionately at risk of threats to their IP.
It’s not uncommon for established competitors to challenge the ownership of that IP or to oppose the validation of their IP rights during the application process.
As a result, intellectual property and patents are becoming a huge issue and growing concern within the tech ecosystem.
There is a growing appetite from larger organisations to 'protect their intellectual property' and increasingly exert their financial advantage to squeeze smaller businesses and remove competition or obtain commercial advantage.
The best way to defend yourself is to know what the enemy may be thinking. One way to do that is to understand if your product/service may be infringing 3rd party patents and IP rights.
The Solution
A Freedom To Operate (FTO) analysis looks at the similarity of IP and features of products across the globe.
Completing one is an essential part of good risk management and corporate government as it helps you understand potential problem areas, protect your future and reassure investors.
However, these reports can be prohibitively expensive.
Until now.
Our partner reports are 1/3 of the cost of a UK law firm while maintaining the same quality.
It’s not quite a free world but at least we are making it cheaper for clients!
