FAQ
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.
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.
A patent infringement action would typically name as a defendant every alleged patent 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.

A U.S. patent holder can block importation and sale of an infringing machine, manufacture or composition of matter in the U.S. and can sue for damages. Suit can be brought against foreign companies in U.S. federal court, so long as the patent holder can serve the infringer.
Since the rights granted by a U.S. patent extend only throughout the territory of the United States and have no effect in a foreign country, an inventor who wishes patent protection in other countries must apply for a patent in each of the other countries or in regional patent offices.
Is a patent valid in every country? Patents are territorial rights. In general, the exclusive rights are only applicable in the country or region in which a patent has been filed and granted, in ance with the law of that country or region.
Patents are country-specific and are rights limited to the borders of the issuing country.
Novelty: One of the essential requirements for filing a patent in another country is that the invention must be novel, meaning it must be new and not previously disclosed. This requirement is necessary to prevent someone from filing a patent for something that already exists.
