Success in Patent Disputes: How to Work Effectively with Litigation Funders
Due to the substantial costs and risks inherent in patent litigation, it is a natural fit for litigation funding. Indeed, a typical patent litigation requires substantial expenditures on both technical and damages experts, often accompanied by additional expenses for testing, reverse engineering, or source code analysis.
Thus, while early trends among those seeking funding for patent litigation were concentrated on smaller, entrepreneurial inventors and patent owners who found themselves pitted against larger, more well-resourced defendants, an increasing number of well-resourced patent owners, such as large companies and universities, are now availing themselves of litigation funding to support their patent litigation strategies.
Regardless of a patentee’s size or financial resources, partnering with a litigation funder is a smart move for any patentee seeking to offset some or all of their financial risk as they take on infringement litigation against well-resourced defendants.
