A United States Patent gives its owner the exclusive right to practice the invention claimed in the patent. A patent owner may sue unauthorized users of their invention.
If you have a patent that you believe is being infringed, you may want to pursue patent litigation. Patent Litigation is extremely expensive. According to one source, seventy six percent of patent suits settle, but not before each side incurs $1 million in direct legal fees and indirect expenses 2 .

- The prosecution history;
- The ability of the infringer to pay;
- The date of issue of the patent;
- Length of time between discovering the infringement and bringing an action; and
- The existence of insurance to pay legal fees.
