Freedom to Operate

  • 12 min read

What Is Freedom to Operate?

Freedom to operate, also known as FTO or right to use, means you have the freedom to test, market, or sell a product or service in a specific area. Sometimes, intellectual property rights only count in a country or a region, and outside of them you have the FTO to do whatever you want. The phrase is often used when determining if a specific action can take place without infringing on the intellectual property rights of another. Examples of actions include commercializing and testing products.

For example, let's say the U.S. government gave you a patent for a new kind of speaker. As the patent holder, you have the freedom to market and sell your speaker while no one else can. If it's a brand-new kind of speaker, you can also sell it in other countries without getting their patents.

However, your competition also has the freedom to operate in other countries, since you only have a U.S. patent.

A legal entity refers to a legally standing or lawful partnership. That partnership could be an association, a trust, a proprietorship, a corporation, or an individual. All such entities are legally able to be accountable for activities against the law, enter contracts or agreements, incur and pay back debts, be sued and sue other entities, and assume obligations. While legal entities are able to do many things, a legal entity cannot hold office or vote. 

Legal entities are frequently seen in scenarios and instances where an individual can take a class-action lawsuit against a company or the manufacturer that supplies the products for a company. Another scenario where the term "legal entity" applies is when every member of a band si

Why Is Pari Passu Important?
