Patent Infringement is a growing problem. Since law does not require manufacturers to inform patent owners that they are using the patent owner’s invention, Patent infringement can be unintentional. In most cases, it will be up to the owner of the patent to pursue Patent Litigation, a costly and time consuming process. It is always a good idea, if you are going to get a patent, that you do extensive research to make sure that no one already has a patent, and that you continue to monitor the industry to ensure that no one uses your patent with out your consent.

Sorry to throw a completely-unrelated question here:
When there are translational errors between the PTC international application and the PTC national application (US), are you allowed to rely on the PTC international application's original language to rectify it? (patent has been issued long time ago). Anyone knows an answer to this?
