Patent Infringement Analysis

Patent infringement analysis is the process of determining whether a product or process violates the rights granted by a patent. It involves comparing the patent's claims—specific legal descriptions of an invention—with the features of the accused product or process. If the product includes all the elements of at least one patent claim, it may be infringing. This analysis helps patent holders protect their rights and others to avoid legal risks. It requires careful legal and technical evaluation to assess similarities and differences accurately.
