Common Patent Infringement Defenses & Counterclaims

Patent Litigation Attorney

A patent holder engaged in patent litigation will invariably face counterclaims from the accused infringer. These counterclaims include declarations by the court that the patent is not infringed and invalid. These counterclaims are commonplace and arise in virtually all patent infringement lawsuits. In addition to these counterclaims, and in an effort to avoid liability, a defendant will often raise defenses of ownership, laches, equitable estoppel, and failure to mark, among others. Our legal team is well-versed in trying to minimize the availability of these defenses by investing a significant amount of time analyzing the issues during a pre-suit investigation in order to maximize the possibilities of prosecuting a successful claim.
