Patent disputes can be resolved in a number of ways using any number of our professional services and resources.

Hearings

If we have raised objections against your patent or if you are in dispute with someone else about a patent, you may request a hearing.

Mediation

If you are in a dispute with someone else over a patent, you may wish to try mediation.

Opinions

If you are in a dispute with someone else over infringement of a patent or the validity of a patent, you may request an opinion.

Filing proceedings

Litigation (filing proceedings) should always be your last resort because it can be expensive, time consuming, and the results may not rule in your favour.
