Patent infringement means using a patented invention without permission from the patent holder. The scope of protection of patents varies from country to country, but in general, to have a patent infringement, the infringing product must fall within one or more of the claims of the patent. In addition, an indirect infringement occurs if an individual knowingly encourages another to infringe a patent. If someone is interested in developing a new product or service, a patent search can be performed to determine if the new product or service would infringe an existing patent.
