Washington Patent Infringement Attorney
Patent infringement disputes can affect product launches, customer relationships, and long-term revenue. We represent Washington businesses and inventors in patent infringement matters involving both utility patents and design patents, including pre-suit investigation, cease-and-desist strategy, and defense against infringement allegations.
Successful strategy is claim-driven and evidence-driven: what the patent claims actually cover, how the accused product or process works, and whether prior art limits or invalidates the asserted claims. We help clients evaluate non-infringement and invalidity positions early, consider licensing or design-around options, and coordinate PTAB strategy when appropriate.
Use the chatbot to understand infringement analysis, defenses, and dispute pathways
If you’re still evaluating options, try our custom (experimental) RAG chatbot for general educational information about patent infringement—such as how infringement is analyzed at a high level, differences between utility and design patents, common invalidity defenses, and how PTAB proceedings (including IPR) can interact with federal court litigation. The chatbot provides general information only and does not offer case-specific legal advice.
