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.
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.
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.
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.)
Patent infringement is the unlawful use, selling, or copying of a patented invention. United States patent law protects such inventions. A patent is a type of intellectual property that the inventor could seek protection by filing a patent application.
Patent infringement lawsuits can vary in duration but generally take one to three years to resolve.
Getting Started in Litigation Your attorney will file a formal complaint in federal court, explaining how the defendant has infringed on your patent. Together with your attorney, you will need to compile evidence of your ownership of the patent and the infringement.
Identity of the Infringer This may be a particularly easy process if there is only one specific individual who has infringed on your patent. It can become much more complicated, however, when there are multiple individuals and businesses involved.
This probably will require hiring a patent attorney. You should make sure to find an attorney who has handled patent infringement cases previously and who is familiar with your industry. Your attorney will file a formal complaint in federal court, explaining how the defendant has infringed on your patent.
