专利侵权讨论

Good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining. We're here to discuss the alarming evidence suggesting Tech Innovate might be infringing on our 'Quantum Leap' patent. Sarah, could you start by outlining the key findings?

Certainly. Based on our analysis of their latest product, the 'Fusion Core' processor, its core functionality, particularly the data compression algorithm, appears to directly implement claims 3, 5, and 7 of our patent. We've conducted performance benchmarks, and the similarities are beyond coincidence.

Thank you, Sarah. That's solid technical evidence. John, from a legal perspective, how strong is our case for patent infringement, and what are our immediate options?

Andrew, the technical analysis provides a very strong foundation. We have a couple of immediate paths. First, we can issue a cease and desist letter, clearly outlining the infringement and demanding they halt sales and manufacturing. This often resolves minor cases without litigation.

And if they don't comply?

Then we'd consider initiating litigation. Given the clear evidence and the value of this patent, we have a strong position to seek damages or an injunction. However, litigation is a significant undertaking, both in terms of cost and time.

I understand the risks. But this patent is crucial to our competitive edge. My preference is to start with the cease and desist, but make sure it's firm and clearly communicates our readiness to escalate if necessary.

Agreed. We'll draft the letter immediately, incorporating all the technical specifics Sarah provided. We'll aim to send it out by end of day. I'll schedule a follow-up meeting for next week to discuss their response and plan our next move.
