Abstract

When we talk about Intellectual property litigation, it is generally referred and points towards the connection between a patent applicant and the patent office in relation to a patent that the applicant has filed. Applications filed with the USPTO are reviewed by a person or a group of examiners who are experts in the field of patents (United States Patent and Trademark Office). A group of examiners is assigned to a specific application, which they then study. The examiner examines the filed application for legal compliance as well as a search of prior patent documents held by various international Patent Offices and other publicly available literature to see if the innovation mentioned in the application can be patented.
