Patent Infringement
The primary value of a patent lies in the rights it conveys to the patentee to exclude others from making, using, selling and importing into the United States products or processes covered by the patent. Determining whether the patentee will ultimately prevail in asserting these rights turns on the question of whether or not the accused product or process infringes the patent. Patent infringement is an extremely complex area of law. However, this presentation will provide at least some high-level answers to the following questions:
What is patent infringement and how is it determined?
What remedies does a patentee have against an infringer?
What should I do if I am accused of patent infringement?
How can I avoid infringement, or at least minimize a damage award?
How can I enforce my patent rights?
Do I really need a patent lawyer and how much is it going to cost?
Can I buy insurance that covers patent infringement claims?
