Patent Protection: Easier Infringement Blocks for Inventors.
This act aims to make it easier for inventors and small businesses to defend their patents against large corporations. It establishes a presumption that a court should block further patent infringement once it's found. This means patent owners will have greater certainty that their rights will be effectively protected, potentially encouraging innovation.
Key points
Courts will now generally block further patent infringement once guilt is established, unless the infringer proves it's unnecessary.
This change is intended to help individual inventors, startups, and small businesses combat large corporations that intentionally infringe patents.
The goal is to strengthen patent rights protection, which should foster scientific and technological development in the U.S.
