FAQs
What counts as patent infringement in the US?
US infringement is making, using, selling, offering to sell or importing something that falls within the claims of a granted US patent, without permission. There’s also indirect (induced or contributory) infringement. Whether a product infringes depends on a careful claim-by-claim analysis. We assess US infringement risk and options, whether you’re enforcing or defending.
How do I enforce a US patent from the UK?
If you hold a granted US patent, you can enforce it against infringers in the US, and we coordinate that – from cease-and-desist letters through to litigation with US counsel where needed. US patent litigation can be powerful but costly, so we’ll advise on the commercial case and alternatives like licensing before you commit.
What remedies are available for US patent infringement?
US courts can award damages (no less than a reasonable royalty, sometimes enhanced up to treble for wilful infringement), and injunctions in appropriate cases. Cases frequently settle. We help you weigh the likely cost, timeline and commercial return before deciding how hard to push.
