Patent litigation is a legal procedure that involves resolving disputes related to patents. It often arises when one party believes that another party has infringed upon its patented invention, design, or process. It’s a complex legal procedure designed to protect the rights of inventors and patent holders. Patent litigation is the exclusive domain of the Federal Courts and so any lawsuit will be in Federal court.
Patent litigation serves as a safeguard for individuals, startups, small businesses, and large corporations to protect their innovative techniques, products, and/or technologies. Whether you are a solo inventor, a growing startup, or a well-established corporation, patent attorneys can assist in the preservation of your intellectual property rights and address any infringements with due diligence and investigation.

Here are important factors to consider when choosing patent litigation counsel.
Experience
When choosing a patent litigation counsel, ensure you retain a lawyer with adequate experience. When it comes to patent infringement cases, which is considered the sport of kings because of the expenses, ensure that you select a lawyer with the following types of experience.
Patent Trial Experience
If possible choose a counsel that is not only a patent litigator but also a patent attorney. This is because a patent litigator has conducted federal court trials before juries and judges in court cases and a patent attorney can understand the claims and effectively cross examine witnesses and especially experts.
Appellate Experience
Ensure that your counsel also has enough experience in patent cases. If the patent attorney representing you has never handled any patent appeal, they may make serious mistakes in preserving various issues for appeal.
If your patent infringement case goes to trial, then chances are high that the case may be appealed. Therefore, get a patent counsel with appellate experience so that they can know which issues to preserve for the appeal.
Degree in Science or Engineering
Due to the scientific nature of a patent, you are more likely to win the case if your patent counsel has a degree in engineering or science. They will be able to understand the finer technical points of the patent and know how to steer the case to your advantage.
Registered Patent Attorney
When dealing with a patent infringement case, don’t hire just any attorney. Make certain that your patent counsel is a Registered Patent Attorney and has been admitted to both the State Bar and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (passed the Patent Bar).
Cost Effectiveness
Since patent litigation tends to be expensive, ensure that you work with a patent attorney who charges you reasonable fees. The best way to know whether your patent counsel is overcharging you is to check their online reviews and references. If their former clients are complaining about the high fees, then find another cost-friendly patent attorney.
Responsiveness
Unfortunately, there are attorneys who do not inform their clients of the progress of the case. Make sure that you are working with a patent attorney who updates you on every progress of the case and explains everything to you in plain, understandable language instead of patent law jargon that leaves you confused.
Transparent and Objective
When dealing with a patent infringement case, work with a patent counsel who tells you the good, the bad, and the ugly truth about your case. In case new facts emerge that threaten the original strategy of the case, your lawyer needs to be truthful and let you know whether to lower your expectations with the case.
