Patent Infringement Avoidance
Infringement avoidance overview:
-
To infringe a patent claim,
the subject must have every element recited in the claim or its equivalent.
-
A patent infringement-avoidance
program
requires an interpretation of the patent claims, which in turn requires an
examination of the USPTO file of the application from which the patent issued
and all prior art cited therein.
-
A patent infringement
avoidance program requires a comprehensive evaluation of the client's product or
process.
-
A patent
infringement-avoidance program might requires evaluations of alternatives to the
the client's current product or process proposals.
-
A patent infringement-avoidance program might lead to
patent validity
issues.
-
Is a patent infringement-avoidance program worth the costs? That is
always a business decision.
