Analysis of Third-Party IP & Freedom to Operate Opinions

Working as a Trusted Partner

Our attorneys have many years of experience in a wide range of technologies. This enables us to provide clear analysis and constructive advice regarding the targeting of IP for acquisitions and licensing transactions, including due diligence, validity, and enforceability studies.

Clearance searches and freedom to operate studies are important in the development of new products and processes. We have long-standing relationships with reliable searchers and technical experts to provide cost-effective freedom to operate and validate opinions. 

On many occasions, we have provided IP Audits to comply with government grants on patent landscaping and related evaluation of IP-supported commercial opportunities for SMEs and start-ups. Of late, one such study was followed up with a tailored patent filing strategy that obtained multi-jurisdictional patents within 12 months, with this followed by enhanced UK government funding, invitations, and support at international trade delegations and promotional at consular receptions. Commercialization funding was then secured for this medical products business.
