Before you launch a new product, it is important to assess the risks of exposure to third-party attacks. If you neglect this step, you risk a competitor preventing your entry to the market and your investment will be lost. Your plans may be opposed by a competitor’s patents, utility models, trademarks or designs, or claims of unfair competition.

rospatt provides advice on issues of IP infringement and validity, including strategies to minimize the risk of being attacked during the launch of a new product.
