What Is Pari Passu?

Pari passu is a Latin phrase lawyers use that means treating all parties the same for something.

Why Is Pari Passu Important?

Pari passu is useful because it is a shorthand way of describing situations when equal, non-preferential treatment is part of a business deal.

Freedom to Operate: How to Safely Launch Products

  • 15 min read

Key Takeaways

  • Freedom to operate (FTO) ensures a product or process can be commercialized without infringing others' IP rights.
  • An FTO analysis includes searching for active patents, expired IP rights, trademarks, and other legal limitations across relevant jurisdictions.
  • FTO evaluations can mitigate legal and financial risks, especially in highly litigious or competitive industries.
  • Legal opinions based on FTO searches can offer valuable protection if litigation occurs.
  • Companies may still achieve FTO through licensing, cross-licensing, invalidity challenges, or product design modifications.
  • Timing matters — early FTO analysis is recommended in high-risk markets or before major investments.
