Litigation - Patent Attorneys

Understanding Patent Litigation

Patent litigation involves legal disputes concerning the validity or enforceability of a patent. These cases often arise when a patent holder believes that another party is infringing upon their patented invention. Successfully navigating patent litigation requires a deep understanding of patent law, legal strategy, and the technical details of the invention in question.

Our experienced attorneys specialize in providing comprehensive support throughout the entire patent litigation process. This includes:

• Patent Validity Analysis: We meticulously examine the prior art and legal arguments to determine if a patent is valid and enforceable. We assess potential challenges to the patent’s claims, which is crucial for building a strong defense or a robust infringement case.
• Infringement Analysis: We analyze whether a product, service, or process allegedly infringes upon your patent rights. This involves detailed examination of the alleged infringing activity and comparison with the claims of your patent.
• Claim Construction Disputes: The interpretation of patent claims – the legally defined boundaries of a patent – is a critical aspect of litigation. We aggressively advocate for our client’s interpretation of the claims, often leading to significant strategic advantages.
• Interference Proceedings: We represent your interests in interference proceedings, where the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) determines priority of invention.
• Markman Proceedings: Markman proceedings are crucial in establishing the scope of the patent claims. Our team will meticulously analyze and strategically define the Markman evidence.
• Discovery: We manage and conduct all aspects of the discovery process, including responding to interrogatories, producing documents, and conducting depositions.
• Motion Practice: We prepare and argue complex motions, including motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, and motions to amend claims.
• Trial Preparation and Representation: When a case proceeds to trial, we prepare a comprehensive strategy, gather evidence, and represent your interests effectively in court.
