Patent Litigation

Once granted, patent rights can be challenged, whether through infringement or disputes over validity or enforceability. Patent litigation typically occurs in federal courts or before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

When faced with a patent challenge, it’s essential to have an experienced team of patent litigation attorneys on your side. The attorneys at Five Continent Tip are skilled in handling patent disputes in both federal courts and the PTAB, ensuring your rights are defended effectively throughout the litigation process. Let us guide you through every step of patent litigation.

Litigation at the Federal Court

When a patent is granted, it gives the owner the exclusive right to make, sell, use, or import the protected invention. However, these rights may be infringed upon if someone uses the patented invention without permission. In such cases, a patent owner can enforce their rights through patent litigation in U.S. federal court.

Patent litigation is a complex process with specific rules and timelines that must be followed to preserve your rights. Working with an experienced patent litigation attorney is crucial to navigating the process effectively.

At Five Continent Tip, we guide you through every step of patent litigation, including preparing and filing infringement complaints, motions to dismiss, scheduling conferences, conducting discovery, claim construction hearings, and summary judgment motions. We also assist with trial preparation, including depositions, expert witness identification, and post-trial motions or appeals. Let us help protect your patent rights and manage the litigation process from start to finish.

Litigation at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is not immune to errors, and occasionally, a patent may be granted in error. While the patent holder may be pleased with their new rights, competitors or other third parties may have valid concerns about the patent’s legitimacy. In such cases, these parties can seek legal recourse through an Inter Partes Review (IPR), a form of patent litigation.

IPR provides a mechanism for non-patent holders to challenge the validity of a granted patent before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) at the USPTO. It is a valuable tool for businesses seeking to invalidate their competitors’ patents or for those defending against infringement accusations.

Whether you’re looking to initiate an IPR challenge or need to defend against one, the patent litigation attorneys at Five Continent Tip are here to guide you. Our experienced team can assist with any PTAB-related litigation matters to protect your interests.
