Patent Infringement

Patent law is extremely complex and it is advisable to seek legal advice from an expert if you want to obtain a patent grant, or if you think your patent has been infringed. If you have a unique invention, if a patent is granted over it, it means that you have exclusive rights to use your invention for a set period of time (usually 20 years from the date of the grant). 

Unfortunately, event where exclusive patents are granted, they can be infringed. It is unlawful to infringe a patent by making something using the patented design, or importing or selling a product which someone else has made by infringing your patent.
