SURTEC’s Patent Research Program
A patent for an invention is the grant of
an intellectual property right and protection to the inventor
from those who would infringe on the patent.
Patent infringement is the act of utilizing a patented invention
without permission from the patent holder.
When infringement is proven, the amount of compensation
for the damages caused by the infringement
of the patent right is assessed
on the basis of the losses suffered by the patentee
or the profits which the infringer has earned through the infringement.
The amount may be assessed by reference to the appropriate multiple (1-3 times)
