When Your Competitors Have Patents

(111) Patents can be complex, especially when your “new” invention may have already been thought of and patented by a competitor. In this video, I address the difference between patent applications and granted patents, discuss patent time limits and expiration dates, review how to ensure that a competitor really owns a patent (especially helpful in case of patent infringement accusations) and cover how to review patent claims within a patent application. I also provide some valuable tips on what to look for in a patent document and present a sample scenario to show how to put these tips into action to make searching for patents as smooth as possible.

How do I stop patent infringement from China through eBay? I talked to an attorney and I lost a few thousand dollars for nothing.
