"Nearly every operating company valued at greater than $20 billion in market capitalization is likely to be accused of patent infringement at some point. The high likelihood of utilizing another person or company's patented technology led to an explosion of patent litigation activity over the last 30 years."
"Invention is associated with the lightbulb, Thomas Edison's iconic vision of a new idea. When the 'lightbulb' goes on, creative ingenuity brings a new way of doing things, and a patent is a way to secure a financial profit on that idea."
"Implementers with execution skills are known to push the boundaries of ethical in-licensing of others' IP. The operational decision to sell products infringing on IP is a choice made by an Implementer, and one that is only policed by the patent owner."
"Implementers who execute business morally and ethically will launch new products with a freedom-to-operate (FTO) study completed before the launch of the new product."
Companies valued over $20 billion often face patent infringement accusations due to the high use of patented technologies. This has resulted in a surge of patent litigation. Invention is linked to creativity and securing profits through patents, while commercialization requires different skills. Implementers may infringe on patents, making ethical decisions in product development. Responsible Implementers conduct freedom-to-operate studies to ensure compliance with existing patents before launching new products.
