- Title
Patent Infringement--The Doctrine of Equivalents Revisited.
- Authors
Silverman, Arnold B.
- Abstract
The author reflects on an opportunity to consider infringement under the doctrine of equivalents provided in the U.S. if literal patent infringement is avoided through failure to satisfy each aspect of a recited patented claim. The doctrine of equivalents emphasizes that if someone avoids literal infringement but has made an insubstantial departure from the claimed invention they can be held liable as an infringer. It cites examples of cases that have been heard by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
