How do small inventors stop patent infringement?
A major challenge for small businesses and individual inventors is to find intellectual property attorneys who work in contingency based patent law firms. Small business and individual inventors do not always have the financial resources to compete with the legal juggernauts working for the corporations that may be committing patent infringement.

“Get an Attorney Who Protects Patents”
It is important to get as much documentation about the nature of the potential infringer and the alleged infringer’s activities through your own observation, experience, or what you have learned from others. Obtain an example of the infringing device if possible, or any evidence you can obtain related to the infringing activity.
“Involve a Patent Attorney as Soon as Possible”
If you suspect your patent is being infringed, it may be important to speak with a patent lawyer about your intellectual property rights, but you need as much information as possible. First steps to protecting your patent include:
- Try to determine the exact activity of the potential infringer. Obtain product literature, trade intelligence, reverse engineering, and press releases.
- Involve a patent lawyer in your case as early as possible.
- Retain documentation of your own patent activity and product development.
