In September 2018 a Canadian Company initiated litigation claiming UK inventors infringed a patent describing an invention the inventors had made in 2003. It had subsequently purchased this patent from the inventors former UK employer. Then, in February 2019, after receiving the inventors defence and cross-claim, the Canadian company filed an entitlement claim to a 2005 invention by the same inventors. The two cases were litigated in Australia. The relevant inventions related to the corrosion protection of steel in reinforced concrete. This work considers features inventors need to address in the context of litigation arising from their inventions. Examples are provided to illustrate the need, from the perspective of an inventor, to understand the allegations and study the event timeline to avoid the negative effects of the use of hindsight.

In September 2018 a Canadian Company initiated litigation claiming UK inventors infringed a patent describing an invention the inventors had made in 2003. It had subsequently purchased this patent from the inventors former UK employer. Then, in February 2019, after receiving the inventors defence and cross-claim, the Canadian company filed an entitlement claim to a 2005 invention by the same inventors. The two cases were litigated in Australia. The relevant inventions related to the corrosion protection of steel in reinforced concrete. This work considers features inventors need to address in the context of litigation arising from their inventions. Examples are provided to illustrate the need, from the perspective of an inventor, to understand the allegations and study the event timeline to avoid the negative effects of the use of hindsight.
