Wyatt infringed Alex's patented invention in 2011. May Alex bring an action for infringement in 2018? Discuss fully and indicate what Wyatt's response might be if Alex files a lawsuit.
What will be an ideal response?
Yes. There is no statute of limitations in the Patent Act. Thus, Alex may bring an action for infringement; however, he may not recover monetary damages for any acts occurring more than six years before he commences his action. Alex may be able to obtain an injunction or some other nonmonetary relief. Wyatt would likely allege that the action is barred by laches, an unreasonable delay that caused him damage and prejudice.
