Patent infringement cases generally have one of two conclusions, either a simple and succinct patent infringement settlement early in litigation, or a lengthy trial.
With the help of patent infringement lawyers and other professionals, an inventor does have the right and ability to file for a patent infringement lawsuit. This could possibly lead to a mutually beneficial settlement, although if both parties can not agree to settle, the inventor and alleged infringer are forced to go through the entire litigation process, which can take several years, and cost more money than most individuals have.
