Patent Loophole Allows Companies to Forego Litigation Procedures

July 14th, 2008 · No Comments

In the ever-more competitive world of business and manufacturing, the protection intellectual property has become even more difficult.  However, companies looking to gain a competitive edge in the market have found a loophole in the system that allows them to forego legal procedures.

Under normal circumstances, one company files a complaint against another, alleging that they have infringed on a certain patent.  At this point, the matter goes to court where the two entities duke it out.  However, if the patent involves a product that in manufactured abroad, the plaintiff can file an injunction with the International Trade Commission (ITC).  The benefit of this is that the ITC does not have to abide by the Supreme Court ruling that frowned upon sales injunctions.

Considering the globalized nature of business these days, the proliferation of these types of cases is more widespread than you might think.  For more information regarding patent law and patent litigation, call the Patent Law specialists of the Williams Kherkher law firm at 866.950.9000.
