SHIELD Act progress I thought I'd update this thread by mentioning that the SHIELD Act was re-introduced last week after being expanded to include other industries. That seems to have given it some more support than the previous revision. |

Should I keep my patent's ownership or assign it to an entity that I own? Thanks for the follow-up questions. Let's assume that I have no co-inventors and don't plan on taking on investors/partners for this idea. I just came up with this new idea, patented it and want to either own it or put it in an LLC. The goal would be to eventually sell or license the invention to a manufacturer. The question is, prior to licensing (i.e. while I'm holding the patent as an individual), do I have any personal liability from that patent on the line and if so, where from? How about after licensing? |

Should I do a freedom to operate search if I suspect parts of my product infringe [US]? Thanks Yorick and George for the insightful comments. That's precisely the issue: on one hand the company is just starting and cannot afford to license dozens (hundreds?) of patents before it makes any sales - I would rather deal with lawsuits (if any) as they come. On the other hand the product is most likely novel (though using possibly patented components) so I would also like to protect it somehow without exposing it to the triple damages issue. Is there a middle-ground? |

How do I determine if my product changes make it non-infringing? Thank you Robert, great link. |

How do I determine if my product changes make it non-infringing? Thank you for the clear answer. A small clarification still needed: if patent 1 covers A, patent 2 covers A & B, and my product is A & B & C, then I may be able to file a patent for it. But I'd be infringing on both patent 1 & 2 if I attempt to produce it even though one is a refinement of the first? |

SHIELD Act progress Thank you - do you know of any other legislation on the table that is meant to help start-ups with prohibitive patent troll fees? |
