Legal Question in Intellectual Property in California
Possible Patent Infringement
We believe that several companies may be
infringing on our patent, we would like to
understand the legal process for notification of
such concerns or do we just let them continue
with commercial sales of the products? The
patent which evolves around Wirless/GPS and
Vehicle Telematics is estimated to produce $4
Billion in revenue in the next 4 years...we want to
ensure that we are protected in the event that we
would ever choose to pursue litigation.

Re: Possible Patent Infringement
You should take action to protect your patent. This includes informing the infringing companies to cease and desist violating the patent. You have further remedies including suit for damages, injunction, etc.
However, you should take action immediately once you know of the infringement.
