Patent Enforcement

Patent enforcement refers to the legal process by which a patent holder protects their invention from unauthorized use, production, or sale by others. When someone infringes on a patent, the patent owner can take legal action, often starting with a cease-and-desist letter. If the issue isn’t resolved, the owner may file a lawsuit in court. Successful enforcement can result in remedies like monetary damages or injunctions to stop the infringing activity. Overall, patent enforcement ensures that inventors can benefit financially from their innovations, encouraging further creativity and development in various industries.
