The Patent Infringement Litigation Process
Patent infringement cases can be complex. The complexity of these cases can make you realize quickly how important it is to hire an experienced Los Angeles patent attorney to help you argue your case.
After initial pleadings, venue challenges, protective orders, and motions to dismiss may be heard, the parties and court will start to focus on what is known as claim construction. This is the process by which the court reviews the language in the patent claims to define the possible scope of protection. When trying to determine the possible scope of claims, the court hears usually arguments from both parties, looks at the file histories of the patents in question, and may entertain experts to help them decipher portions of the claim. When the court’s assessment of the claims has been done, it will issue a Markman order, or claim construction order. In some cases, this can have a drastic bearing on whether a case continues.
However, after claim construction, if the parties do not settle, or if a summary judgment does not follow that ends the case, the litigants will often proceed into assessments of liability for patent infringement and damages. During this phase, patent litigators collect as much evidence as possible to prove or disprove the patent infringement allegations. The plaintiff will try to prove the defendant’s products or services have all the features in their patent claims. During this discovery phase, parties will take depositions, issue document requests and/or subpoenas, interview witnesses, study products, and sometimes hire specialized experts to digest the technology to show the infringement.
After we build a solid case, it’s time for our patent lawyers to argue your case in court. The court hears argument from both parties to determine whether patent infringement has occurred and if it has, whether there are damages, and whether it was intentional. However, there are certain circumstances in which the court may choose to separate the Damages and Liability phases.
In most cases, someone who’s found liable of patent infringement may be ordered to stop an infringing activity, or to pay some amount of damages, which is usually in the form of “lost profits” or a “reasonable royalty.” Before the court or jury determines the amount of damages awarded, however, both parties will normally have the opportunity to bring in economists and forensic accountants to argue what they believe is fair.
If it’s determined by the court that the accused willfully engaged in patent infringing activity, enhanced damages may also be ordered.

About Los Angeles, CA
Los Angeles (US: (listen) lawss AN-jəl-əs; Spanish: Los Ángeles [los ˈaŋxeles], lit. 'The Angels'), often referred to by its initials L.A., is a major city in the U.S. state of California. With a 2020 population of 3,898,747, it is the largest city in the state, as well as the second-largest city in the United States following New York City. Los Angeles is known for its Mediterranean climate, ethnic and cultural diversity, Hollywood film industry, and sprawling metropolitan area. The city of Los Angeles lies in a basin in Southern California. Adjacent to the Pacific Ocean extending through the Santa Monica Mountains and into the San Fernando Valley it covers about 469 square miles (1,210 km2). It is the seat of Los Angeles County, which is the most populous county in the United States with just over 10 million residents in 2020. Home to the Chumash and Tongva indigenous peoples, the area that became Los Angeles was claimed by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo for Spain in 1542. The city was founded on September 4, 1781, under Spanish governor Felipe de Neve, on the village of Yaanga. It became a part of Mexico in 1821 following the Mexican War of Independence. In 1848, at the end of the Mexican–American War, Los Angeles and the rest of California were purchased as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and thus became part of the United States.
