A patent is the right to exclude others from making, using, selling, or offering for sale a patented invention. If you are seeking to protect a patent, you need a team of litigation attorneys with experience in complex commercial matters. Whether you wish to get an injunction to stop the use of your invention, are seeking damages through a lawsuit, or would like a license agreement so that you collect, we know how to get results.
At Gordon & Doner, we handle patent dispute matters involving:
- Direct infringement
- Indirect infringement
- Intellectual property litigation
- Patent litigation
- Competitor suits
- Cease-and-desist letters
- Declaratory judgments
- License disputes
- Trade secret protection
- Machinery
- Methods
- Component parts
There are several ways damages are assessed in patent infringement cases, including:
1. Loss of profits -- if the infringement had not occurred, plaintiff would have
sold the device itself; or
2. Reasonable royalty – without the infringement, the defendant would have paid
plaintiff a royalty for the right to use the patents
Not every lawyer or law firm can handle a complicated patent infringement case. From beginning to end, patent litigation requires a big commitment of time, energy, and money. The discovery process in a patent case will typically involve the taking of numerous depositions from the inventors, anyone involved with the inventors in licensing or selling the patented devices, the attorneys who obtained the patents, and others.
If you believe that someone is infringing on your patent, we will assist you in developing appropriate licensing agreements so that you can collect what is owed to you under your patent.
