A counterclaim of infringement is a compulsory counterclaim to a claim for declaratory judgment of non-infringement. If a patent owner fails to assert an infringement counterclaim in a declaratory-judgment non-infringement suit, the patent infringement claim will be deemed waived.
For example, a policyholder believes that their denied claim is unjust. As a result, they inform the insurer that they are considering a lawsuit to recover losses. The insurer seeks a declaratory judgment to clarify its rights and obligations with hopes of preventing the lawsuit.
Declaratory judgment and injunction Order (Injunctive Relief) are different in nature but same in purpose. The effects and outcomes may be varying ing to situation and requirements. The judgment doesn't award the remedies but the injunctive relief awards the remedies on the temporary or permanent base.
Thus, a declaratory judgment action that is nothing more than an anticipatory defense to a breach of contract claim may be an inappropriate use of the declaratory judgment mechanism. Given that courts have discretion whether to entertain a declaratory judgment action, they may decline to do so under such circumstances.
Declaratory judgments are conclusive and legally binding, but do not have preclusive effect if: A later lawsuit involves issues other than those specifically litigated and ruled on in the declaratory judgment action.
There are two specific types of interpleader actions in the United States federal courts. Statutory Interpleader governed by 28 U.S.C. § 1335, and Rule Interpleader established by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 22.
By bringing an interpleader action, a stakeholder can have claimants litigate among themselves, determine which claimants have a rightful claim to the property, and avoid multiple liability. For example, A holds one million dollars. B and C each claim to be the sole owner of the money that A possesses.
A counterclaim of infringement is a compulsory counterclaim to a claim for declaratory judgment of non-infringement. If a patent owner fails to assert an infringement counterclaim in a declaratory-judgment non-infringement suit, the patent infringement claim will be deemed waived.
