Patent Infringement Lawsuits

Hello and Welcome,

My name is Ernest Goodman, and I am an attorney with a focused practice in patent law, including patent infringement lawsuits and Federal Circuit Patent Appeals. In the high-stakes world of intellectual property, protecting your patents—or defending against allegations of infringement—can have far-reaching implications for your business and career. With a combination of legal expertise and technical experience, I am here to guide you through the complexities of patent litigation.

In addition to my legal practice, I am an Information Security Instructor at UCLA Extension, holder of a Master of Science in Information Technology and a Bachelor of Science in Biology, with professional experience in cybersecurity and software development. This background equips me with a unique understanding of the technical nuances that are often critical in patent cases, particularly those involving emerging technologies, software, or scientific innovations.

Patent infringement lawsuits are a cornerstone of intellectual property enforcement. Whether you are an inventor or business seeking to protect your innovations or a company defending against infringement claims, I can provide the legal and technical advocacy needed to navigate the complexities of litigation. These cases typically involve:

Enforcing Patent Rights

• • If someone is using your patented invention without authorization, I can help you file a patent infringement lawsuit to stop the unauthorized use and seek monetary damages or an injunction.

Defending Against Infringement Claims

• • If your business is accused of infringing another party’s patent, I can represent your interests by challenging the validity of the patent or demonstrating that your product or process does not infringe.

Challenging or Defending Patent Validity

• • In many patent infringement cases, the accused party may argue that the patent in question is invalid. I can help you assert or defend the validity of your patent in court.

Strategic Pre-Litigation Advice

• • Before litigation, I offer guidance on responding to cease-and-desist letters, negotiating settlements, or exploring licensing agreements. These steps can often prevent costly court battles.

Damages and Remedies

• • In infringement cases, remedies can include monetary compensation for lost profits, royalties, or statutory damages. I will work to secure the best possible outcome for your case.
