Clearing new agrochemical products and formulations from competitor IP in anticipation of commercialization can be a daunting challenge. Join Justin Krieger in exploring best practices for conducting freedom-to-operate (FTO) searches, analyzing competitor patents, and documenting non-infringement positions. The discussion will provide step-by-step guidance on how best to conduct FTO searches, analyze third party patents, and develop an action plan for commercializing new agrochemical products. The discussion will also explore mechanisms for challenging troublesome third party patents in the US Patent & Trademark Office, including Inter Partes Review (IPR), Post Grant Review (PGR) and District Court Litigation.
