Understanding Patent Litigation
Patent litigation arises when a patent holder seeks to enforce their patent rights or when a party accused of patent infringement challenges the validity of a patent. This process can involve a range of legal and technical issues, including:
- Patent Validity: Determining whether the patent is legally valid and enforceable.
- Infringement Claims: Assessing whether another party’s product or process infringes on the patent.
- Defenses: Evaluating and presenting defenses against infringement claims.
- Remedies: Seeking appropriate remedies, such as damages or injunctive relief, if infringement is proven.
Defending against patent litigation requires a comprehensive strategy that addresses both legal and technical aspects. IPWise Solutions provides the expertise needed to mount a strong defense, protecting your rights and ensuring that your patent remains valid and enforceable.
