Webinar:The FTO Paradox: Diligence to Empower Innovation, Strategy to Protect Privilege

Conducting Thorough Patent Diligence While Protecting Privilege and Avoiding Willfulness

‍

Join Gabriel Haboubi, Alexander Roan, Gabe Sukman, and Gene Quinn for a discussion on how leading organizations are navigating the FTO paradox. Our panel brings together diverse perspectives on managing FTO strategy with in-house counsel, outside counsel advising on patent risk, and technology innovators who’ve reimagined the FTO process itself.

We will explore:

• How Halo v. Pulse Electronics changed the rules of engagement for patent diligence
• Why common post-Halo approaches (the “ostrich” and “delete everything” strategies) create more problems than they solve
• How to structure FTO investigations to maintain attorney-client privilege and work product protection
• Technology workflows that enable responsible diligence while minimizing discoverability risk
• Real-world lessons from the litigation trenches on what holds up under scrutiny

‍

Whether you are conducting FTO reviews in-house, advising clients on patent clearance strategy, or simply trying to build products without building legal exposure, this webinar will provide actionable insights on conducting patent diligence safely and strategically.
