A Patent Infringement Letter is a critical legal instrument used when a patent holder discovers unauthorized use of their patented invention in India. This document serves as the initial formal step in patent enforcement, typically sent before initiating litigation. It must be drafted in compliance with the Indian Patents Act, 1970 and related legislation, providing comprehensive details about the patent(s), specific instances of infringement, and clear demands for resolution. The letter establishes a documented record of the patent holder's attempt to address the infringement and can significantly influence future legal proceedings. It often includes technical specifications, evidence of infringement, and may offer options for amicable resolution such as licensing opportunities. The timing and content of a Patent Infringement Letter are crucial, as they can impact the availability of legal remedies and the calculation of damages in subsequent litigation.
