| IRS990/Desc | 0 | FTO promotes medical and scientific research by searching patent literature for issued or pending patents to identify those which are overbroad or potentially invalid or which may interfere with access to publicly known and available medicinal products. FTO may then take action to raise public awareness of identified problems with these patents and patent applications, through petitioning relevant Patent Offices, providing information to journalists, and providing information to individuals and organizations that are interested in research and development of the known and available medicinal products. These actions allow research organizations to more efficiently achieve their goals, to expedite scientific advancement, and to avoid wasteful expenditures. |

| IRS990ScheduleN/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt | 0 | In 2023, the Board of Freedom to Operate ("FTO") approved and certified a unanimous written consent to wind-down and dissolve the Organization. Pursuant to this agreement, FTO filed Articles of Dissolution with the Delaware Secretary of State in November 2023, and completed all remaining administrative wind-down procedures as of December 31, 2023.Through its wind-down and cessation of operations, FTO continued to pursue its exempt mission and charitable services until all net assets were exhausted, with the last remaining funds being used to settle nominal dissolution obligations, final administrative expenses including accounting fees, and programmatic legal research costs. No single wind-down or termination transaction resulted in any recipient receiving more than $10,000. Additionally, the majority of costs incurred throughout 2023 related to the continuance of the Organization's program services until its ultimate dissolution and cessation of activities. For these reasons and in accordance with IRS Instructions for Schedule N, no recipients or transactions have been disclosed on this Schedule N, Part I, Line 1; there were no termination or wind-down transactions that would meet the threshold for disclosure per the IRS Schedule N Instructions.Please refer to this Form 990, Part III and Schedule O, for additional details on FTO's program service accomplishments and the final uses of the Organization's funds through its dissolution in December 2023. |
