What Is A Patent Attorney Specialising In Infringement?

Patent attorneys who advise on infringement are skilled legal professionals who specialise in the law around patent infringement.

A patent attorney can advise on infringement from both sides of infringement - both as an alleged infringer of a patent, or on the side of the owner of a patent (patentee) where their patent is being infringed.

Experts in their field, they are across all legislation related to patents as well as those linked to design rights and trade marks.

This makes them the ideal point of contact for anyone dealing with instances of patent infringement and who are seeking a quick resolution of these issues.

Dealing With Patent Infringement In Australia

Whether you have received a communication alleging patent infringement or need to enforce your patent against an infringer, it can be hard to know where to begin.

As the first step, regardless of which side you are on, it is necessary to establish if there is in fact infringement, applying the correct legal tests and processes that have been established by the courts. Once an opinion on infringement has been established, then the next steps would follow based on the opinion. This may be:
drafting of a cease and desist letter;
negotiating a commercial settlement;
pursuing court action; or
designing around the claims of the patent.

Proving patent infringement in these instances and achieving the preferred resolution can be both time-consuming and costly.

If you have been accused of infringing on someone else’s rights and are fearful of incurring penalties for patent infringement, you are right to be concerned.

Even if you made every effort to avoid patent infringement and have still done so, however inadvertently, this is a serious accusation and not to be ignored.

Due to the risk of complications or undesired outcomes in cases of patent infringement, no matter which side you’re on, it is highly recommended to engage a professional patent attorney.
