Original air date: May 5, 2015. Having a robust patent portfolio is only one piece of a successful IP strategy. Securing freedom to operate (FTO) for a product also is a critical piece to the product’s commercial success. This webinar will explore the role of freedom to operate investigations to startups and large corporations alike. In particular, the speakers will take the audience through a “mock FTO investigation” that shows the roles of in-house counsel and outside counsel in the FTO process. The program will demonstrate practice tips, including crafting an FTO strategy to different budgets, preparing a search letter, and drafting opinions. Presented by:  Bill Shaw of Biogen Idec; Susie Jones of Jones Robb, PLLC; and Les Bookoff of Bookoff McAndrews, PLLC.
