For many businesses, patents are their most valuable assets, so the stakes in a patent lawsuit are usually high.  Patent litigation is more complex than most other litigation.  Patent law is constantly changing and patent litigation raises complicated legal and technical issues.

A patent conveys to the holder the right to exclude other parties from making, using, selling, or offering for sale, the product, or process, the patent covers.  United States patents cover all uses of a patented item in the United States, including the importation of goods a patent describes or goods made by a method the patent describes.
