A patent grants to its owner the right to file and maintain a lawsuit against anyone who makes, uses, or sells the owner’s patented invention without the owner’s permission. When anyone other than the owner makes, uses, or sells the owner’s invention without permission, it is called patent infringement. A patent owner may sue for compensation of past infringement and may obtain a court order preventing further infringement.
