Ted has made two copies of Trina's patented invention. He has no plans to sell or offer to sell the invention. Has Ted infringed Trina's patent? Discuss.

What will be an ideal response?


Yes. Merely making a patented invention is an infringement. One need not sell it or offer to sell it. This is clear from the statutory language itself. If, however, Ted has made the copies for amusement, philosophical inquiry, research, or experimental purposes, such may be permissible.
