Document background
The Patent Infringement Letter is a crucial initial step in enforcing patent rights under German jurisdiction. This document is typically used when a patent holder or authorized licensee discovers unauthorized use of their patented technology and seeks to address the infringement before initiating formal legal proceedings. The letter must comply with German legal requirements and typically includes detailed technical descriptions, specific references to patent claims, evidence of infringement, and clear demands for remedial action. A well-drafted Patent Infringement Letter can serve multiple purposes: establishing formal notice of infringement, creating a foundation for potential litigation, and potentially facilitating out-of-court settlement. The document must be precise and comprehensive, as it may be scrutinized in subsequent legal proceedings before German courts.
