New Law on False Patent Marking

As of Sept. 16, 2011, marking with an expired patent number is no longer false marking and only the United States or a person who has suffered a competitive injury may bring a false patent marking lawsuit. Previously, any person was entitled to bring a false patent marking lawsuit, which resulted in many lawsuits over marking with expired patent numbers. For further information contact us.

New Requirements for Patent Marking

As of Sept. 16, 2011, a patent owner may give notice of its patent via the Internet. In other words a patented product may be marked with the word ‘patent’ or the abbreviation ‘pat.’ together with a web address, accessible to the public without charge, where the patent number may be found. For further information contact us.
