[QUOTE="archive10, post: 928127"] well, for starters, you can't tell us. For the patent to be awarded, there has to be no traceable examples of "prior art" (someone else inventing it), or release to the public (that's posting on this site) until your patent application has through, and you have been awarded the patent (in all affected territories and countries). After this, you are then free to post lawsuits in the countries or territories where you suspect your patent is being violated. You can sue e.g. UK resellers if they offer a product you think violates your patent, take them to court. If someone in, say, China, makes *and markets in China* a device that violates the patent, you sue them locally in China (better get a good solicitor). I assume you have very hefty resources to pay legel fees. I also assume you are prepared to uphold legal battles lasting several year while the court and associated companies are deliberating and evolving the case in general. With the successful completion of the legal proceedings to stop the infringing company to market and sell a device that violates your patent, you can then file a new lawsuit against the company to seek compensation for the damages done to your earnings (assuming you have been producing a similar device by then). This, of course, relies on the compnay infringing on our patent to still exist, and be solvent to pay your claims for damages... In practice, the owner of the original company let the company go into liquidation, and creates a new (unrelated) company, that purchases the "intellectual property" (hardware designs, diagrams, software etc) from the old company, and then you have to restart the whole process... *sigh* Patents are worth diddly-squat to us normal people, they're only useful in Apple-against-Samsung, or Monsanto-vs-Pfizer. Nobody wins, except the solicitors/lawyers, who are kept busy until the end of time... [/QUOTE]
