  1. HOW TO PROVE PATENT INFRINGEMENT

  2. OWNERSHIP OF THE PATENT Inventors who have created a patentable invention must take the initiative to file a patent application on their own. The invention owner can file a provisional application on their own or have a patent agent file a non-provisional application on their behalf.If the patent is not already filed and granted, the applicant must file the application and pay the filing fee. And, if the applicant is successful, the patent will be granted and the inventor should issue a written series of smaller applications based on the original application and any amendments or additions.

  3. The scope of the claims in the patent The scope of the claims in the patent need to be very, very carefully considered. If you’re looking at a patent and you’re saying “I’m going to create my product around this patent”, you need to look at the claims carefully to determine what’s actually covered in the patent.Personally, I look very carefully at claims 5, 14a, 15(c), and 56 and look for patterns and similarities in descriptions, similarities between alleged products and processes, and general trends in innovation.

  4. That you have been or will be damaged by the alleged infringer’s actions This is probably the most difficult of the elements to prove, but the easiest to explain.Transfer of ownership is something you legally own. So when a company files a patent application, they own the patent. In this same way, if you own an invention, you legally own all of the rights to the invention without having to prove that you actually own them, or assign them to someone else This means that you can patent something without actually having to prove to other people that you own it..

  5. That the accused product falls within the scope of protection under the claims A product that falls within the scope of protection of the claims is called a product that falls within the scope of protection of the claims.I say “claims” and “product” in quotations because product is an umbrella term that encompasses a wide variety of different features. Tom's Guide offers a great example of when to use and not use the phrase “product” for abbreviations and definitions.
