A patent grants the inventor exclusive rights to make, use, and sell their invention for a specific period. Patent infringement occurs when a person or entity, without authorization, manufactures, uses, sells, or imports a patented product or process. Patent law protects innovation and ensures that inventors enjoy the fruits of their creativity while balancing the interests of industry and public use.

Types of Patent Infringement

Direct Infringement – Unauthorized making, using, or selling of a patented invention.

Indirect Infringement – Encouraging or aiding another party to infringe on a patent.

Contributory Infringement – Supplying components or materials specifically intended for use in a patented invention without permission.

Willful Infringement – Deliberate violation of a patent, often resulting in enhanced damages.

Doctrine of Equivalents Infringement – Using a product or process that is not identical but performs substantially the same function as the patented invention.
