Patent Enforcement Attorneys: How Does a Patent Owner Enforce a Patent?

A patent owner may enforce his patent rights in a federal court proceeding.  Patent infringement disputes are not handled by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).  Generally, a patent owner may initiate a law suit in federal court seeking monetary damages and injunctive relief to prevent an accused infringer from infringing his patent.  Because patent disputes arising under the Patent Laws are questions of federal law, federal courts and not state courts are the appropriate forum for resolving patent disputes.
