Work Against Infringement – The Legal Way
Getting Prepared For Litigation
Sagacious IP is well equipped to support both from a plaintiff-side and a defendant-side for a patent litigation.
For the plaintiff –
As a patent owner, one has the right over patented claims. When violated by a company, it sets up a ground for infringement. Therefore, based on the business objectives, a patent owner can go for patent litigation as a plaintiff before the district court. Or, in case of an import in the US, the US international trade commission (ITC). They would need strong infringement contentions for a valid patent. Before going for litigation, the plaintiff must ensure the following:
- Litigation-grade evidence-of-use (EoU) chart is ready with appropriate claim construction
- Strengthening of an already prepared claim chart
- Preparing preliminary infringement contention (PIC) reports
- Claim construction for Markman hearing
- Patent validity study
For the defendant –
Simultaneously, an alleged party has several rights to defend themselves in patent litigation. Availing the defending rights is recommended instead of being intimidated by the letter notifying infringement and demanding damages/licensing/injunction. The defendant has the following ways to get rid of the litigation case:
- Review the claim chart to prepare non-infringement arguments
- Challenge validity of the asserted patent and file an IPR
- Counter-assertion, in case of operating company as a plaintiff
- Acquire a patent, if not available in the self-portfolio
- Challenge the claim construction in the Markman hearing
