The FTO analysis process in catalysis typically involves the following steps:
1. Define the Scope: Clearly outline the specific catalytic technology, materials, and processes under review. 2. Patent Search: Conduct a detailed search of patents and patent applications to identify existing IP rights. 3. Evaluate Patents: Analyze the identified patents to determine their relevance and potential impact on the proposed technology. 4. Legal Opinion: Obtain a legal opinion from IP experts to assess potential risks and identify strategies to mitigate them.
