I am sorry, for my question might sound shallow for those who know law deeper than me, but I want to clarify something.
Lets say I invented something and never patented it, but was using it in my business for some period of time, and then someone patents my invention. Can he/she still sue me, provided I give proofs I've been using that invention even before he/she patented it?
- teyc 15y agoyes, the person can sue you. But if you can demonstrate that you have already been practising it before their patent lodgement date, then this is known as "prior art". However, it will still cost you money to defend yourself in court.
