Many conflicts involving patents are settled by negotiation. If negotiation fails to produce a resolution, a lawsuit may be brought in a federal district court located where the infringer resides or where infringement occurs and the infringer has a regular and established place of business. The objectives of bringing suit are to recapture damages (i.e., legal fees, back royalties, cash, etc.) and obtain an injunction to prohibit further infringement.
