Patent litigation is the legal process where disputes regarding patent rights are resolved through court proceedings. It typically begins with one party (the patent holder) alleging that another party (the accused infringer) is using, making, selling, or importing a patented invention without authorization. The process involves filing a complaint, responding to legal claims, exchanging evidence through discovery, interpreting the scope of patent claims, potentially resolving the case through summary judgment or trial, and reaching a verdict that determines infringement and, sometimes, patent validity.
