Impact Stories
A client once approached us with an infringement search request for a set of patents. The client also provided us with possible leads for a few patents but was unable to convert them into the claim chart due to certain claim elements being undisclosed in product literature. We at TT Consultants thrive to provide the best output. So, we performed the product teardown of the product disclosed to find out if the required claim element features could be claim charted. And we were able to convert it into strong evidence. We were appreciated by the client over the call.Â
A client once approached us with infringement search for a patent having claim limitations that were really difficult to find in the available product literatures. The client has also conducted this search with few other vendors as well before coming to us, but they were unable to find any relevant evidence of use. We performed product search as well as standard search on standard databases and were able to find standard evidence disclosing all the claim limitations. Also, we provided the client with the list of that standard compliant products from different manufacturers to the client. He was very impressed with our search.Â

IN THE NEWS
It is an estimation of damages in patent infringement cases. It is a calculation of the amount the patent holder would have received from the infringer in a hypothetical license negotiation at the time the infringement began.​
Cease and desist letters may be used as part of a patent holder’s enforcement strategy. It is a notice to the infringer from the patent holder to stop an alleged infringement activity. This letter can serve several benefits to the patent holder. If the recipient complies with the letter, time and cost of litigation is saved. Even if the recipient does not comply, the letter may lead to a licensing agreement with the other party. This letter may even be useful in any future court proceedings for proving willful infringement and claiming enhanced damages if the alleged infringer ignores the letter.​
In willful infringement, the court can award up to three times of the actual damages incurred.​
There are two types of indirect infringement:
(i) Contributory infringement and
(ii) Induced infringement.​
It refers to the process of assigning the ownership of a patent to a third party so that they can make, use, and sell your invention in an exchange of pre-decided royalty.​
Product disclosures, broachers, videos, manuals, datasheets, whitepapers, press releases etc. and not research papers, thesis, and patents.​
The results of a patent infringement search can provide valuable information to inform your business decisions. If potential patent infringement risks are identified, you may choose to modify your product or service to avoid infringing on existing patents. Alternatively, you may decide to license or acquire the rights to use the patented technology. In some cases, the search may reveal opportunities for innovation and development of new products or services.Â
A patent infringement search report typically includes information on patents that may be relevant to your product or service. This may include a list of relevant patents, information on the scope of the patents, and an analysis of how your product or service may be impacted by the patents. The report may also include recommendations for how to mitigate potential risks, such as modifying your product or service or licensing the patented technology.Â
There are several potential defenses to a patent infringement claim that a defendant may raise, including:Â
Invalidity: The defendant may argue that the patent in question is invalid, either because it was not properly granted by the patent office, or because it does not meet the legal requirements for patentability.Â
Non-infringement: The defendant may argue that their product or process does not infringe on the patent, either because it operates differently or because the patent claims are too broad or vague.Â
Prior art: The defendant may argue that the invention claimed in the patent is not novel or non-obvious, and that similar inventions existed before the patent was filed.Â
Experimental use: The defendant may argue that they were using the patented invention for experimental purposes, in order to improve upon it or develop a competing product.Â
Estoppel: The defendant may argue that the patent holder made misleading statements or engaged in other behavior that should prevent them from enforcing the patent against the defendant.Â
License: The defendant may argue that they have a license or other permission to use the patented invention, either from the patent holder or from another party with the right to grant licenses.Â
