About This Webinar

Explore FTO searching with CAS IP Finder™, featuring CAS Newton℠. In this webinar, we'll discuss how freedom-to-operate (FTO) searching differs from patentability searching, why CAS IP Finder is the cornerstone of professional FTO workflows, and how to move from search and retrieval through final selection and reporting. Join us for a practical, end-to-end walkthrough of FTO searching with real-world guidance from experienced IP search professionals.

What You Will Learn

• The foundations of FTO searching: How FTO differs from patentability searches and how tools may fit together in a professional IP workflow.
• How to conduct an FTO search in CAS IP Finder: Which datasets are critical, how the retrieval system supports FTO-specific needs, and where CAS Newton fits into the workflow.
• How to move from search to reporting: How to transfer CAS IP Finder results into reviewing tools, what to focus on during FTO results review, and how to communicate findings clearly to IP search requestors.
