Patents
and Patents Litigation
A patent for an invention is the grant of a property right to the inventor, issued by the Patent and Trademark Office. There are two types of patents: utility and design. A utility patent protects the way an article is used and works while a design patent protects the way an article looks. Utility patents require that the invention be new, useful, and non-obvious. Design patents require that the invention be new, original, and ornamental.
A patent grant confers the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling the invention in the United States or importing the invention into the United States. By giving the public notice of its patent rights through the use of the Patent Number, a patent owner becomes entitled, in case of infringement, to an award of damages and, in some cases, attorney's fees.
