This document discusses freedom to operate (FTO) analysis, which provides a legal opinion on potential patent infringement for a new product. It outlines approaches to FTO including analysis of a product's components against third party intellectual property, and drafting an opinion on infringement likelihood. The document then discusses various strategies to obtain FTO, including licensing needed patents, modifying the product design, abandoning the project, or merging with other companies. It notes challenges for public sector institutions in planning early for FTO due to different priorities than private companies.
This document discusses Freedom to Operate (FTO) analysis, which assesses the intellectual property rights and tangible property rights of others that may be relevant to a new product or process in development. It describes the FTO principles, preparations, procedures, perspectives, options for obtaining FTO status, and strategies. The key aspects are performing an FTO analysis by dissecting the new technology, searching patent and scientific databases iteratively, drafting an FTO opinion on infringement risk, determining an FTO status, and formulating an FTO strategy based on that status. The FTO analysis is most effective when conducted early in product development before significant resources are invested.
Freedom to Operate (FTO) refers to whether it’s commercially ‘safe’ for you to make or sell your product in the country in which you wish to do so, without infringing existing third-party rights.
The document discusses non-obviousness, which is a requirement for patentability. To satisfy non-obviousness, an invention must not be obvious to someone with skill in the related field. While it does not need to be a brilliant act of new genius, the combination of elements cannot be obvious and must provide a utility greater than the sum of the parts. The patent application process involves initially filing a provisional application, then a formal application which undergoes review and potential appeals before a patent is issued. The process is lengthy and obtaining a US patent can cost over $1 million due to extensive legal costs.
Freedom to Operate in the Pharmaceutical SectorAdrian Bradley
This presentation covers the essential aspects of planning and executing a freedom to operate or patent clearance exercise in the pharmaceutical sector. It deals with the search phase, the analysis phase and the follow-up phase. It is relevant for in-house IP attorneys and development managers.
Licensing allows a company to generate revenue from its intellectual property while another entity uses the IP under agreed terms. The owner of the IP retains ownership and controls how the IP is used through the license agreement. Key terms of a license include exclusivity, territory, royalty payments, minimum royalties, and termination clauses. Licensing has advantages like immediate revenue, risk reduction, and accessing new markets. However, licenses can increase product expenses and require ongoing development work from the licensor. Proper negotiation and drafting of the license agreement is important for success.
Besides formal patent applications, start-ups can also apply for provisional patent applications. Find out what it takes to have a pending patent for your invention.
The document discusses various topics related to patent searching and drafting patent claims including:
1) The purposes of conducting patent searches such as avoiding infringement and monitoring competitors.
2) Resources for conducting patent searches such as online databases and tools from patent offices which provide time-efficient and cost-effective access to comprehensive international patent information.
3) Key considerations for drafting patent claims including writing broad and narrow claims to fully cover the invention while avoiding prior art and unnecessary limitations.
Compulsory licensing is when a government allows someone else to produce a patented product or process without the consent of the patent owner or plans to use the patent-protected invention itself.

The document discusses intellectual property rights transfers between US firms and foreign businesses. There are several reasons why US firms may transfer their IPRs, such as receiving licensing fees, contributing technology to joint ventures, or shifting production to lower cost countries. International agreements like the Paris Convention and TRIPS Agreement established standards for protecting IPRs like patents, trademarks, and copyrights across signatory countries. The PCT and Madrid Protocol set up centralized filing systems for international patent and trademark applications.
This document provides an overview of patent processing and applications. It defines a patent as a set of exclusive rights granted by a government to an inventor for a limited time in exchange for publicly disclosing an invention. The document discusses the patent process, types of patents including utility patents, design patents and plant patents. It also describes different types of patent applications including national, regional, international and provisional applications.

The document outlines the major steps to obtain a patent in India: 1) Submission of an application including a provisional or complete specification describing the invention; 2) Publication and examination of the application by searching for prior art; 3) Opportunity for others to oppose the granting of the patent prior to issuance; 4) If not opposed or found invalid, the patent controller will grant the patent giving the patentee exclusive rights over the invention.
The document summarizes India's patent system. It outlines that intellectual property rights allow creators of intellectual property to prevent others from commercially exploiting it for a given period. India's patent system is governed by acts like the Patent Act of 1970. To be patentable, an invention must be novel, involve an inventive step, and be capable of industrial application. The stages of obtaining a patent in India include filing, formality check, publication, examination, response from applicant, and potential pre-grant opposition. If objections are overcome, a patent certificate is granted. Renewal fees must be paid to keep the patent in force for its full term.
A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state (national government) to an inventor for a limited period of time in exchange for a public disclosure of an invention.

General And Provisional Specifications Of PatentsAbhas Agrawal
The document discusses the key aspects of patents and patent specifications. It defines what a patent is and explains that a patent provides exclusive rights over an invention for a limited time. It then describes the two main types of patent specifications - general specifications and provisional specifications. For general specifications, it outlines the typical sections including title, background, summary, description of drawings, detailed description, and abstract. For provisional specifications, it notes they disclose the nature of the invention and must later be followed by a complete specification within 12 months to maintain the priority date.
Freedom To Operate Search- Opinion and AnalysisSagacious IP
Only patented documents are relevant for FTO search. That is its major difference from a patentability search. You don’t have to consider all prior-arts or un-patented data for your search.
1. Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind like inventions, literary works, artistic works, symbols and designs used in commerce.
2. IP laws like patents, copyrights, and trademarks aim to protect knowledge created through human effort and promote further creativity by giving owners limited monopoly over their creations.
3. Protecting IP benefits both creators through financial returns and the public through access to new inventions and creative works.
This Presentation teaches on how to search patent using various patent database like Free patent database, Patent database of National Authority and Paid patent database. It also focus on general parts of the patent and why patenting is needed. This presentation was delivered to M.Pharm. student by Mr. Pratik Vora for supporting them in their dissertation topic search. Hope you may find it helpful to you, also.
The document summarizes the process for obtaining a patent through the European Patent Office (EPO). The EPO is a single office located in Munich that serves 38 European countries. To file for a European patent, an applicant can file directly with no deadline, use the Paris Convention with a 12 month deadline, or file through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) with a 31 month deadline. The filing must include a request form, specification, inventor/applicant information, fees, and translations if needed. The EPO will examine the application for formalities before publishing it after 18 months. The applicant can then request examination, pay designation fees, and go through the examination and grant process.
Patent infringement searches are conducted to ensure no other individual or organization is using, making, or selling a patented invention without authorization. The search process involves breaking down the technical features of the patent claim and any potentially infringing products, then comparing them to determine if there is infringement. If infringement is found, the patent owner can take legal action or pursue licensing opportunities.

Profiting from technological innovationAmirSalimi11
This document discusses factors that determine whether innovating firms or followers benefit more from innovations. It provides the example of EMI, which developed the first CAT scanner but lost market leadership within 6 years as followers modified and improved the design. The key factors discussed are the appropriability regime, the emergence of a dominant design, and ownership of complementary assets needed for commercialization. In a weak appropriability regime, innovators must closely monitor the market and be prepared to modify their design before a dominant one emerges to maintain competitive advantage over followers.

The document discusses running an effective intellectual property (IP) committee within a company. Key points include:
1) An IP committee should include members from IP, business/technical units, and an executive to make decisions. The chair guides the process.
2) The committee sets the company's IP strategy based on business objectives and delivers documentation like filing targets.
3) The committee analyzes inventions using criteria like technical/commercial significance and decides on protection like patents or trade secrets.
4) Ongoing responsibilities include maintaining existing protections and prosecution of applications. Providing members information and tools helps the committee's work.

Intangible assets, which account for up to 90% of a company's value, especially patents, which make up the largest proportion of these assets, are hardly ever utilized for corporate value creation despite their value. In this presentation, I introduce patent management solutions for the development of patents that can contribute to corporate value creation, using the latest digital technologies such as AI, blockchain, and Web 3.0. I also introduce measures to maximize the financial use of patent assets secured through such patent management. In particular, I will look into the domestic and overseas trends of STO (Security Token Offering), which have recently been gaining attention in S. Korea, and learn about strategies and methods for patent asset STO.

An IP audit is a systematic review of a business's intellectual property assets to identify underutilized assets, threats to the business, and opportunities to increase the value of IP. It involves analyzing all statutory IP like patents and trademarks as well as non-statutory IP like know-how, contracts, and more. The audit identifies actions needed to maintain assets, potential infringement issues, applications that should be filed, and procedures to implement. The deliverables include a written report listing assets, required actions, applications, and procedures to pursue identified opportunities.

Negotiating intellectual property rights between industry and university can be very complex and sometimes contentious. This presentation covers the key areas of negotiating strategy that tries to find common ground.
IP Negotiations for Tech Transfer Tactics FINAL.pdfDipanjan "DJ" Nag
Intellectual property rights are at the heart of virtually every research collaboration between academia and industry, and the negotiation around IP is often contentious, frustrating – and too often a deal-breaker. Every negotiation is unique and loaded with complexity. By gaining practical knowledge of the various situations that arise in these negotiations – and the creative solutions used to resolve them — you can dramatically increase the chances of resolving IP issues and establishing long-term relationships that bring critical benefits to both partners.
This practical session will focus on arriving at a win-win strategy for resolving IP-related issues and structuring a deal that benefits both parties. The session will draw from the direct experiences of the speakers in handling sensitive situations, including a role-playing exercise in a mock negotiation to illustrate specific sticking points and showcase proven strategies for resolving them.
Here is a brief look at the areas covered:
Who owns the foreground IP?
Rights to background IP?
Publication
Patent prosecution
Patent enforcement
Research, Development & Commercialization
Improvements
Other issues in IP negotiations
Mock negotiations to illustrate win-win resolutions

There are two main sources and types of technology. Internal research and development is one source, but it is usually slower and more costly. External sources include mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, franchise agreements, licensing agreements, and formal/informal contracts. These allow firms to gain new technologies through partnerships and sharing of innovations, but also come with disadvantages like culture clashes or high contracting costs. The types of technology discussed are agriculture/bio, energy/power, construction, manufacturing, transportation, medical, and information/communication.
The document discusses technology exports and joint ventures. It provides details on different types of technology exports, including transfers of intellectual property rights and licensing agreements. It also outlines the objectives and needs for technology exports, such as earning royalties and accessing technical knowledge. Joint ventures are described as strategic partnerships between two or more companies, where they share resources to achieve common goals. Successful factors for joint ventures include partner selection, access to financing, adopting modern practices, and technology transfers. Examples provided include the Shanghai BOC industrial gases joint venture and the Sony-Ericsson mobile phone partnership.
17 most asked questions about Patent Agent Examination Cheshta Sharma
The document provides answers to 17 frequently asked questions about the Indian Patent Agent Examination. It discusses the eligibility criteria, exam structure and format, syllabus, application process, and other details. The exam consists of two papers testing knowledge of the Patents Act and rules, and ability to draft patent specifications and interpret documents. It is not compulsory to receive coaching, though guidance from experienced institutes can help preparation. While there is no set syllabus, focus areas include important sections of the Patents Act, case studies, drafting skills, and handling questions in the viva voce round.
According to the Government of India, the minimum qualification to appear in the patent agent exam is — “Any Science Graduation”. There is no mention of any Law graduation or legal knowledge. This clearly indicates that a patent agent is supposed to be a person with technical know-how, which is good as patents are actually the protection of “Technological Inventions”.
Job oriented Patent Analyst Program at IIPTACheshta Sharma
Indian Institute Of Patent and Trademark Attorney is commencing job oriented patent analyst program. This program is for B.Sc, M.Sc or B.tech students looking for job in area of patents. It is 2 month classroom program. Successful candidates will be awarded 100% placement.
Give a brief account of development of legalCheshta Sharma
The development of the legal profession in India from 1772-1961 involved a struggle and can be divided into pre-independence and post-independence periods. During pre-independence, several acts established courts and regulated the profession, but initially only allowed English men to practice. Over time, qualifications were established for Indians as well. The Advocates Act of 1961 marked the post-independence period, establishing the All India Bar Council and state bar councils with a uniform system of qualifications and regulation of the legal profession across India.
The document discusses the power of High Courts in India to issue writs. It traces how this power evolved from British courts of King's Bench and Queen's Bench to the High Courts established in 1861. Initially, High Courts could only issue writs within their local jurisdictions, but they later asserted the power to do so across administrative areas as the administration came under the Crown. However, their power was at times inhibited by Privy Council rulings that the jurisdiction depended on where the cause of action arose rather than the location of the authority. Legislative provisions and the post-Independence Constitution have expanded the High Courts' writ jurisdiction.
The supreme court established under the 1774 charterCheshta Sharma
The major cases that led to the Supreme Court established under the 1774 Charter becoming disliked by both government officers and Indians included:
1) The Raja Nand Kumar case of 1775, where a man was sentenced to death for forgery in a trial seen as unjust.
2) The Patna case of 1777-1779, which highlighted defects in the relationship between the Supreme Court and local Adalats.
3) The Cossijurah case of 1779, which resulted in a deadlock between the Supreme Court and Governor-General over jurisdiction and lowered the Court's dignity.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

A review of the growth of the Israel Genealogy Research Association Database Collection for the last 12 months. Our collection is now passed the 3 million mark and still growing. See which archives have contributed the most. See the different types of records we have, and which years have had records added. You can also see what we have for the future.
This slide is special for master students (MIBS & MIFB) in UUM. Also useful for readers who are interested in the topic of contemporary Islamic banking.
2. Introduction
• A Strategic management tool.
• Legal opinion by patent counsel on whether the making, using ,selling or
importing of specified product , in a given geographical area , at a given
time , is free from potential infringement of third party intellectual
property (IP) or Tangible property rights.
• AIM--- To make strategic risk management decisions in relation to R & D
and Product launch.
3. APPROACH…
• FTO Analysis
An FTO analysis is a focused and intense investigation, performed by
meticulously dissecting a biotechnological product or process into its
fundamental components and then scrutinizing each for any
attached, unlicensed intellectual property (such as patents, plant variety
protection, or trade secrets) and tangible property of third parties.
• FTO Opinion
Based on the results of the FTO analysis, patent counsel will draft an FTO
opinion that indicates the likelihood that the biotechnological product or
process infringes the IP rights or tangible property rights of others. The
likelihood of such infringement might be either low or high, depending on
the results of the FTO analysis.
4. • FTO Strategy
The FTO status establishes a baseline for formulating a strategy for product
development. This involves business and legal considerations to balance
potential risks with anticipated benefits. The FTO strategy considers all
options and then decides on the approach that best fits the mission of the
organization and its tolerance for risk.
• FTO Status
The FTO opinion will inform, with respect to the overall status of FTO for a
given product—depending on the time and place—the level of potential
risk associated with contemplated R&D and/or commercialization activities.
Such risks vary; hence, FTO status is relative.
5. When to seek FTO
• COMPANIES-very early in product development
• UNIVERSITIES-academic freedom, research and fair use exemptions under
IP law because-
Universities do not develop and sell finished products
• Best Strategy depends on:
• the mission of the organization
• the range of existing partnerships
• the ease with which the organization interfaces with companies
• the type of product under consideration
• the degree of overlap between public and private sector interests related
to the specific product.
7. 1. License in- license from the certified owners/assignees for each IP right that
the product under study is likely to infringe.
2.Cross-License- when two IP holders license intellectual property to each other:
“A” licenses a set of patents to “B,” and in exchange B licenses a set of patents
to A. This approach is often adopted when one entity holds a patent on an
invention and another has an improvement on it.
3.Oppose third party patents- A successful challenge on any of these grounds
(novelty, utility, and non obviousness.) will annul a patent claim, and
sometimes the entire patent .
8. 4.Seek Non-assertion coveneant- In this new era of “humanitarian”
licensing, the international community is struggling to develop and
distribute new products and to extend the benefits of those the developed
world already enjoys.
• in the form of public statements or bilateral or multilateral agreements.
• Eg; Companies may be reluctant to license due to liability issues. This is
especially so with agricultural biotechnology applications partly brought
about by the Cartagena Protocol’s ongoing international negotiations on
liability and redress.
5.Seek compulsory license-the issuing of compulsory licenses to national
producers in national emergencies, provided that certain conditions are met
according to the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual
Property Rights (TRIPS).

11. 1.Modify Product-
• An alternative to licensing .
• Eg; In agriculture, for example, instead of using a certain (patented)
promoter that would require a license, the vector design would include a
different type of promoter unencumbered with intellectual property
• Such a strategy will succeed only if –
(1) there are alternatives in the public domain that would work at least as
well as the encumbered promoter
(2) an FTO analysis is performed relatively early during the R&D stage
2.Invent around-research team to search for alternative ways to develop the
product in question
• could lead to significant benefits in terms of new inventions, new
intellectual property for cross-licensing, and perhaps even better products.

and a cross-license might be offered in return .
2.Abandon project-If all else fails, a project may simply have to be abandoned
freeing investments for safer and less-risky ventures
3.Merge/ acquire-Any company, regardless of its size, may acquire, through
mergers and acquisitions, a number of smaller companies, just to expand
its IP portfolio.
Nonprofit PDPs and other nongovernmental organizations
(NGOs), moreover, might gain by considering mergers, perhaps not so
much as a strategy to obtain FTO, but as a way to increase the potential
for innovation.

16. CONCLUSION
• For public sector institutions -planning for FTO early in the research phase
is neither necessarily appropriate nor feasible.
• academic institutions -should be little concern over FTO.
• public sector institutions –
are increasingly dealing with the complex interface of proprietary science
develop global access strategies that spell out how intellectual property
will be managed to make the products from the grants available to the
poor
A sound strategy for obtaining FTO for a given product or process should
consider all options and an assessment of the risks of each in relation to
the institutional context, the product type, and market dynamics.
