Hot Products owns a valid patent for a fan motor that it uses in ceiling fans. In the air conditioners it manufactures, Allied Electric uses a fan motor that is identical to Hot's. Allied does not have Hot's permission to use the motor. Can Hot recover Allied for patent infringement?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Yes, because Allied Electric infringed on Hot Products' patent.

Explanation:

A patent is a licence issued by a government that gives exclusive ownership of an invention to a particular person or company.

Other parties cannot make, use, or sell the invention.

Patent infringement occurs when a party uses a patented invention without the consent of the owner.

On the given scenario Hot Products owns a valid patent for a fan motor that it uses in ceiling fans. Allied electric is using the fan motor without he consent of Hot Products.

So this is a patent infringement and sue and make a recovery from Allied Electric
