WHAT IS FTO
Freedom To Operate (FTO)
FTO Opinion or analysis: The ability to perform a particular commercial
activity without “infringing” 3rd party’s valid IP rights. (是否侵权)
FTO analysis tells the patent landscape in field (雷区布置) Patent search is first step (第一步)

Patent Search
A key step to solve any questions regarding patents (解决有关专利问题的第一步) It is not merely “searching patents” (不仅仅检索专利)

Common Patent Search FTO/Clearance (自由实施法律分析) Patentability/Novelty (新颖性) Invalidation/Validation (使之无效/有效)

T SEARCH AND BIO SEARCH
Patent Search
FTO/Clearance search vs Patentability/Novelty search A four legged chair is invented: A five legged chair will be cited for a
patentability/novelty search because it discloses all features you have. A three legged chair will be cited for a
FTO/clearance search because you use all features other already claimed.

Bio Vs Small Molecule Patent Search
Small molecules have distinct characterized chemical structures and low molecular weights
Biologics are large complex molecules with high molecular weight manufactured in a living system
Structure Search: 1. Background study 2. Structure search (结构检索) 3. Keyword search
Sequence Search: 1. Background study 2. Sequence search (序列检索) 3. Keyword search

Bio Patent Search --General Considerations Searching biologics can be difficult and time-consuming
due to biologics’ complex structures and properties The patent owner of a biologic drug tends to file patent
applications aggressively to protect the drug. The patent family could be large containing hundreds of patent family members (一个专利家族上百个专利)
Not only are patents on composition of matter important, but patents on production methods or process of making are critical too (分子序列重要,但怎么提取也一样重要)
A patent owner continues to file new patents related to the drug product and technologies along the drug development process (不停地专利)
Multiple companies work on similar biologic molecule and file patents. As a result, multiple licenses from other patent owners likely are needed for developing and marketing a biologic drug (很多公司都发同一生物分子的专利)

FTO on drug target: both DNA, protein, screen method and agonists and antagonists from the screening may all be considered (一个生物药,与它有关的什么都要查) FTO on DNA or Protein as drug: what is the cut off for
homology/similarity? 75%, 80% or 90%? Species? (序列可能不是百分百相同) For antibody as drug: very complicated structure and many variable domains; General antibody claim vs specific Design claim (抗体更复杂) Case by case only

Bio Patent Search –Example (例子)
Enbrel, a trade name of etanercept is an FDA-approved drug to treat rheumatoid arthritis,
psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Enbrel is a fusion protein produced through expression of recombinant DNA that treats autoimmune diseases by interfering with the TNF receptor (a part of the immune system) by acting as a TNF inhibitor

FTO Search on Enbrel –Search Strategy

ENBREL
FTO Search on Enbrel --Keyword Search Keyword searching can find exact matches from text (either title, abstract, bibliographic information, specification or claims). The main considerations for keyword searching are:
Synonyms for a biologic including brand name and generic name For
example, tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 1 (TNFAIP1) has the following synonyms: B12, B61, BTB/POZ domain-containing protein TNFAIP1, EDP1, MGC2317, protein B12 [18], etc. (关键词)
However, not all synonym names need to be searched for biosimilar searching. It requires a good understanding of bioscience and subject to decide what synonym should be included and what should not. A discussion with scientists in the field and patent attorney in charge of the project can be helpful. (不是所有的关键词都有用)
Spelling variations and truncated forms (不同的拼法)

SEMAN
TIC SEARCH
FTO Search on Enbrel -- Semantic Search Semantic searching ( 语义检索) According to Wikipedia, ‘‘semantic search is a process
used to improve online searching by using data from semantic networks to disambiguate queries and web text in order to generate more relevant results”
It is broader than a keyword search but false hits are much higher For example, Enbrel semantic search on LexisNexis TotalPatent generates over 2000 hits. It not only includes Etanercept or human TNF receptor, etc. in the search but also includes other similar TNF drugs, such as Remicade/Infliximab, Lenercept, Humira, etc. in the search terms, which are not the fusion protein.

FTO Search on Enbrel --Post Search Processing All search results from different databases
should be combined for a full analysis before being reported to clients. Although the report should be structured to clients’ demands and focuses, the report for a biosimilar FTO should contain the following information (后处理很重要!): Patents claiming composition. Patents claiming process of making, including vector
and cell lines. Patents claiming formulation. Patents claiming particular use (which clients are
interested in)

Patent Search --Keep in Mind
FTO Search is not legal analysis (检索查询不是法律分析) Don’t Interpret for Attorneys (检索查询专家不是律师) If a search result is not complete, attorney can’t do a good job (精诚合作)

Summary FTO patent search is an essential step to
understand “infringing” 3rd party’s valid IP rights or not. (自由使用专利检索查询很重要) Bio patent searching can be difficult and time-consuming due to biologics’ complex structures and properties (生物专利检索查询很复杂) Sequence searching combined with keyword
searching is a mainstream approach (序列与关键词是基本步) Post searching process is important to provide a
meaning search report (后期阅读筛选迈向优异) 29 Sunny Wang
