Patent Infringement Litigation Penalties

A practical approach to patent infringement litigation concentrating on the financial aspects of the penalties that can be imposed. Commisioned by the European Community this book details infringement penalties in all significant industrialized countries, both inside the EEC and worldwide. Together with Boujou's "Patent Infringement Litigation Costs" it provides a survey of patent infringement, indicating how to balance the risks of patent litigation in bringing a litigation suit, whether acting for plaintiff of defendant. Illustrative charts and information enable the reader to make comparisions between different countries. This book should prove to be of interest to commercial lawyers, patent agents, patent attorneys, and commercial licensing departments.
