Who controls enforcement of my patent?

This page is an FAQ based on guidance from the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure. It is provided as guidance, with links to the ground truth sources. This is information only: it is not legal advice.

With our patent enforcement insurance policies YOU control all aspects of how to enforce your patent. 

Sometimes you may wish to strongly enforce their patent to prevent a specific competitor from operating in your space.  Other times, you may want to obtain a license agreement from a competitor.  Still other times, you may want to cross license your patent for a technology a competitor may have.

In every case, YOU control how the enforcement proceeds.
