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.
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.)
A copyright owner can sue in civil court, seeking an injunction to prohibit the defendant's further unauthorized use of copyrighted materials, as well as to recover damages. The U.S. Department of Justice can also make the case for criminal copyright infringement under specific conditions (see below).
A patent holder must sue the unauthorized party in federal district court. The patent holder can sue in any federal court where the infringed product is found. Patent lawsuits are time-consuming. Depending on where you live, these suits can take years to get to trial.
If the accused manufactured, sold, attempted to sell, or imported the invention without permission, a direct infringement occurs. If the accused actively induces a third party to manufacture, sell, attempt to sell, or import the invention without permission, indirect infringement (contributory infringement) occurs.
Your counsel should be a Registered Patent Attorney. Many attorneys who handle patent cases are not Registered Patent Attorneys. Registered Patent Attorneys have science and engineering degrees and have been admitted to the Patent Bar in addition to their State Bar.
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.
You design around a claim of a patent by excluding any one feature in the claim from your product. For example, you can make your product out of steel if the claim requires aluminum. You can make your product 5 inches tall if the claim requires that the product be no more than 4.99 inches tall.
