After all the time, effort and money you have invested, proper use of your patent is of the utmost importance.

Boston Post-Patent Review and Enforcement Attorney

The U.S. patent law requirements for marking products with applicable patent numbers may be different depending on the particular product in question. For example, in terms of computer software, it may not be sufficient to include the patent numbers on the package. For example, it may be necessary to ensure that all applicable patent numbers are visible when the user runs the software (i.e., a small screen should pop up with the numbers visible).

Although it seems rather obvious that you would include all of the relevant patent numbers on your products, it is also rather easy to overlook if you do not have the help of a fastidious and experienced patent attorney. If you have a portfolio of multiple patents, you can be confident that Robert Plotkin will carefully and thoroughly track and review both your portfolio of patents and your products to ensure that your products are properly marked.

Massachusetts Law Firm — Avoiding False Marking Lawsuits

At the very least, if you fail to mark your products with all of the relevant patent numbers, you may not be able to obtain damages for patent infringement before the date on which your product is marked. What this means for you is that if you pursue patent litigation and win, you may lose damages for the time that your product was not marked with the applicable patent number.

False marking, the inclusion of a non-applicable patent number, should also be taken very seriously. Such an inadvertent mistake can cause severe consequences such as being sued for false patent marking, which can result in being required to pay damages for the error. To avoid these kinds of law suits, it is important to take great care in marking your products with all of the relevant patent numbers, and no more. Robert Plotkin will carefully review your process for patent marking, to ensure that it is operating in an efficient and effective manner.
