By bringing a lawsuit, you can formally defend the non-infringement of your invention and enforce your legal patent rights.
Synoptic IP is well-equipped to support both the plaintiff and the defendant in a patent litigation.
The Process of Preparing for Litigation
For the plaintiff
A patent holder possesses ownership rights over patented claims. It establishes the grounds for infringement when a corporation violates it. As a result, a patent owner may file a lawsuit against another party in district court based on their commercial goals. The legal patent would necessitate strong infringement claims.
For the defendant
An alleged party in a patent dispute has a number of legal options to defend themselves. It is advised against giving in to intimidation by the letter warning of infringement and requesting damages, a licence, or an injunction.
The Plaintiff Must Make Sure of the Following Before Filing a Lawsuit
- Evidence-of-use (EoU) chart suited for litigation with appropriate claim construction
- Enhancing a claim chart that has already been established
- Patent validity analysis
- Claim preparation for the Markman hearing
- Preliminary infringement contention (PIC) report formation
Options Available to the Defendant for Ending the Legal Dispute
- Prepare your non-infringement defences by reviewing the claim chart
- File an IPR to contest the asserted patent’s validity
- Counter-assertion in the event that a plaintiff is an operating corporation
- Obtain a patent if one is not already in your portfolio
- Argue the Markman hearing’s claim construction
