In general the analysis of patent infringement involves a two step process.
First, the claims of the patent are analyzed by studying all of the associated patent documents including the patent file history.
Second, the claims, as properly interpreted must "read on" or cover the alleged infringing product.
The claims are examined word for word to determine if each element in the claim can be identified in the alleged infringing product.
Infringement may be direct, indirect, or contributory.
Direct infringement involves anyone who makes, uses, or sells the patented invention.

The United States is a member of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) that has adopted the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT).
The PCT process is, in essence, a "delay tactic".
The PCT system allows the patent owner to delay the filing of country-by-country patent applications from the typical 12 months to 30 months from the applicant's earliest US filing date.
Thus, the term "delay tactic".
There are several other benefits that we can explain to you more fully in person.
In addition, it is important to remember that most international patents have added costs over and above those of US applications.
