FTO Search & Patent Risk Analysis

Description

This professional program is designed to develop practical skills in Freedom to Operate (FTO) searching, claim-centric patent analysis, patent risk assessment, legal status analysis, and AI-assisted patent research.

Participants will learn how to define products and processes for FTO analysis, develop claim-focused search strategies, identify potentially relevant patents, analyze patent families and legal status, map product features against patent claims, and categorize infringement risks.

The program combines FTO search methodology, claim construction, patent family analysis, legal status assessment, AI-assisted claim analysis, risk mapping, and practical project work. Participants will complete a real-world FTO project and prepare a professional FTO opinion support report.
