Direct and Indirect Patent Infringement

Patent Litigation Attorney

Whether via literal infringement or the doctrine of equivalents, when a competitor or other business unfairly profits off the sale of products covered by one"s patented invention, grievous financial damages can be incurred. The intense amount of resources and time that were poured into a product deserve full patent protection and violators should be pursued for monetary damages. Under United States law, patent infringement may occur directly or indirectly. No matter the specifics of one"s case, a skilled patent infringement litigation lawyer can provide comprehensive legal representation surrounding these patent issues.

The act of patent infringement can come about through several different avenues, whether it be the manufacture, sale or use of a patented device, system or method. When any of these are done without permission of the patent owner or in a way that violates a license agreement with the patent owner, direct infringement has occurred. Indirect infringement occurs through something less than the full act of sale, manufacture or use of a patented invention but nonetheless ultimately leads to direct infringement by another party. Examples of such infringement include contributory infringement – where a party assists in obtaining or selling components used within another"s patent infringement – or induced infringement – essentially a form of 'aiding and abetting' the act of infringement,.
