Tips To Choose the Best Counsel for Your Patent Infringement Case

If this is your first time dealing with a patent infringement case, we recommend finding the best counsel in order to keep your company from going bankrupt as a result of the lawsuit. 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

Choose a counsel that is not only a patent litigator but also a patent trial counsel. This is because a patent trial counsel has conducted federal court trials before juries and judges in court cases. On the other hand, a patent litigator does not have the same court trial experience as a patent trial counsel. The patent litigator only knows the pretrial procedures but has not taken any of their cases to court.

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 Bar.

In addition to having a science or engineering degree, the Registered Patent Attorney is also the only type of attorney that is allowed to practice before the Patent Office.

Cost Effectiveness

Since patent litigation tends to be expensive, ensure that you work with a patent attorney that 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 that do not inform their clients of the progress of the case. Make sure that you are working with a patent attorney that 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 that 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.
