Patent Infringement & Protection Lawyers

Patent infringement can erode your market share and diminish returns on research and development, and identifying infringement of a patent can be difficult, especially in industries where technological advancements happen daily.

As patents filed in one country don’t provide protection in another, patent infringement can occur across borders, and enforcing patent rights internationally can be complicated and incur costs to perform multiple legal actions in different jurisdictions.

FAQs

What counts as patent infringement?

Patent infringement is making, using, selling, importing or keeping a product or process that falls within the claims of a granted patent, without the owner’s permission. Whether something infringes turns on a careful comparison against the wording of the claims — which is why expert claim analysis matters. We assess whether a competitor’s product infringes yours, or whether you’re at risk.

How do I prove someone is infringing my patent?

You compare the alleged infringing product or process against your granted claims, element by element, and gather evidence — product specifications, samples, marketing and sales data. It’s technical work, and getting it right is what makes enforcement credible. We carry out this claim-mapping and build the evidence base before any action is taken.

What should I do if a competitor copies my patented invention?

Act promptly but take advice before accusing anyone — an unjustified threat of patent proceedings can expose you to a claim. We analyse the strength of your position, then advise on options from a cease-and-desist letter through negotiation to court action for an injunction and damages. Early, measured action usually gets the best result.

What if I'm accused of infringing someone else's patent?

Don’t ignore it, but don’t concede either. There are real defences — the patent may be invalid, or your product may not actually fall within the claims. Get in touch with our experts, and we’ll assess the claim, advise on validity and non-infringement arguments, and help you respond in a way that protects your business, whether that’s pushing back, designing around, or negotiating a licence.
