FAQ
In the United States, a valid patent provides its proprietor with the right to exclude others from practicing the invention claimed in that patent. A person who practices that invention without the permission of the patent holder infringes that patent.
There are three types of patent infringement under this statute: direct infringement, induced infringement, and contributory infringement. Induced and contributory infringement are two types of indirect infringement.
To enforce a patent against a competitor, you'll need to show three things: That you own a valid patent. That the alleged infringer has engaged in an act of infringement. That the infringing product or process incorporates all the features of at least one independent claim.
The two main types of damages awarded in patent infringement actions are reasonable royalties and lost profits. (However, the Patent Act does not limit damages to certain types, and a judge can award other types of damages that may be appropriate under the facts of the case.)
The all-elements rule is a principle in patent law that states that every part of a claim must be present in a device that is accused of infringing the patent in order for it to be considered a literal infringement.
If the State has waived its sovereign immunity to patent infringement, yes. Alternatively, a state may have provided by state statute an alternative remedy for its infringement of a patent. If so, the patentee may sue to obtain that alternative remedy.
Typically, a party (other than the patentee or licensee of the patentee) that manufactures, imports, uses, sells, or offers for sale patented technology without permission/license from the patentee, during the term of the patent and within the country that issued the patent, is considered to infringe the patent.
Selling, offering to sell, using, or manufacturing a patented product without the owner's permission (by license, waiver, or other contract) can constitute infringement and expose the unauthorized seller/user/manufacturer to liability, even if the infringement was unintentional.
Determine the Substance of the Response Denying liability. Sending a holding letter advising the patent owner that a substantive response will be forthcoming. Purchasing or licensing the patent. Modifying the accused product to avoid infringement. Stopping use of the accused product.
