Designated by the Beijing Intellectual Property Office and the Beijing Intellectual Property Right Protection Association, CN-KnowHow undertook two overseas Free To Operate (FTO) Analysis & Emergency Response for CapitalBio Corporation and AIRSYS Refrigeration Engineering Technology (Beijing)Co.Ltd. Having achieved all the pre-set targets after full data searching analysis and in-depth infringement risk assessment, the two projects successfully passed the expert evaluation review organized by Beijing Intellectual Property Right Protection Association on 21 July 2011.

During the evaluation interview, the evaluation committee composed of several experts from organizations such as the Beijing Intellectual Property Office and the Beijing Science & Technology University, raised questions and discussed specific elements of the FTO analysis reports with our experts, and acknowledged the achievements of our work after reviewing the conclusion report of our experts. The evaluation committee reached a unanimous conclusion that the implementation of the projects are practical and that the projects were carried out meticulously. In addition, the results of these projects are very valuable for the exportation of the products of both client companies.

After the inception of the Beijing Government's support project for overseas FTO and emergency response of local companies in 2007, more than 30 projects have been completed in key industries, in order to actively promote the capabilities of local companies to prevent IP risks in the process of "going abroad". CN-KnowHow has been responsible for most projects and has been designated as IP service agency for the project four years in a row. The achievements of our projects are also acknowledged and greatly valued by our client companies. This year CN-KnowHow has once again undertook several FTO Analysis Projects and successfully passed the review, therefore providing strong legal grounds for our client companies in their efforts to target and develop overseas markets.
