Do You Suspect Patent Infringement?
A potential patent infringement case can be brought to the attention of the inventor in many ways:
- a competing or identical product can appear in the market;
- a disclosure at an industry trade show;
- a statement by a sales person about activities in the trade; or,
- in trade literature.
If you suspect patent infringement, you may need to consult a patent infringement attorney before contacting the potential infringer. Early involvement of a patent infringement attorney in any potential infringement matter is important. The matter involves issues related to determining damages, appropriate jurisdiction and the like. The patent owner’s own activities can impact these determinations. Fighting battles in court over appropriate jurisdiction and venue can in many cases waste valuable resources and more importantly detract from the most important issue: STOPPING THE INFRINGEMENT.

Patent Infringement Attorney - Tara J. Williams
Hi! My name is Tara J. Williams, and I want to thank you for visiting our Web site. I hope you find helpful information within its pages.
Approximately 17 years ago, I began my legal career after graduating from the University of North Carolina School of Law, focusing my practice in intellectual property law and advising clients about issues related to patents, trademarks and copyrights. I have had the opportunity to work in many different environments with many different challenges. I have worked as an attorney in private practice, as a corporate patent lawyer with a national chemical company, as well as in-house counsel for a start-up internet company. I have advised clients in many different technologies and on a multitude of intellectual property rights matters, including:
- prosecuting patent and trademark applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office;
- preparing patent infringement opinions;
- preparing intellectual property licensing agreements;
- evaluating patent infringement cases; and
- assisting and advising about potential patent remedies.
I discovered that many clients were unable to get the representation they needed to protect their intellectual property rights because they did not have the necessary funds to hire a qualified intellectual property lawyer.
If you are a small business or individual inventor researching your options in intellectual property protection, I wish you the best of luck. I hope this site can be a great resource to you.
