Should I wait to contact the patent holder until I am successful or just contact him now and ask him if we can make a deal?

- timr 18y agoThat's a bit like going up to a police officer and asking him for advice on the best way to rob someone without getting caught. Remember: if a patent holder can show that you've knowingly infringed on a patent, it's much worse than the alternative. Keep your mouth shut until you're absolutely positive that you've got a problem. How do you know? You talk to an attorney.
- bluelu 18y agoAs far as I know, you don't have to pay anything to a patentholder as long as he doesn't contact you! Until then you are free to use as many patents as you like. But you better ask your lawyer on this topic.
