Infringement

Enforcing your patent rights against third parties is sometimes necessary in order to maintain your position in the market. It may also be the case that you yourself are accused of infringing the rights of third parties or that, for the market introduction of your product or process, you wish to know whether you are infringing the rights of third parties.

Each situation requires an individual approach. We can advise you in taking the necessary steps to enforce your patent, starting with collecting evidence and assessment of the infringement. If you wish to avoid infringement (freedom to operate) or have already been accused of infringement, we start by documenting relevant rights of third parties and verifying the validity of these rights and assessing the associated scope of protection.
