Re: validity of a patent?

Subject: Re: Re: validity of a patent?

Comments:
: : A patent was issued for an invention, but an infringement search found that there was a similiar patent not listed under prior art. Can this make the patent invalid? I want to manufacture the invention but I do not want to infringe an existing, valid patent. : You are on the right track searching early. It does not look as if what you have has been professionally considered. : There are usually hundreds of patents on any subject. The question of infringement turns on outstanding patents with claims that you would infringe. : Without a focused insight into the situation, even correct information may hot help you. With knowledge one can often get a product on the market with little or no risk. : M.
