Patent Infringement Litigation Funding

Patent Infringement Lawsuits Can Be Costly. We Can Help With Funding.

Patent infringement litigation can be an expensive process, especially when the cases are complex or protracted. Legal fees, expert witnesses, discovery costs and other expenses involved in pursuing or defending a patent case can easily escalate into the millions of dollars. This is why many companies seek outside litigation funding when involved in a patent dispute.

Our company, America Lawsuit Loans, provides litigation financing to both plaintiffs and defendants in patent infringement lawsuits. If your company is embroiled in a patent case and needs help covering the legal costs, we may be able to assist with funding.

What Is Patent Infringement?

Patent infringement occurs when one company or individual makes, uses, sells or imports a product or technology that is protected by someone else’s patent without permission. Essentially, they are stealing intellectual property. Patent holders can file lawsuits against alleged infringers to protect their invention rights and seek compensation for damages through the courts.

These types of cases are filed in federal court and go before a judge and jury. The plaintiff patent holder must prove that their patent is valid and that the defendant is infringing upon it in some way. The defendant accused of infringement can argue that the plaintiff’s patent is invalid or unenforceable for some reason.

Patent litigation is extremely complex, involving intricate legal and technical details. Substantial evidence and expert testimony are required to build strong positions for both sides. This is what drives up the costs so dramatically. Our litigation funding helps alleviate the financial burden for clients involved in these lawsuits.

How Our Litigation Funding Works

At America Lawsuit Loans, we provide funding to both plaintiffs and defendants embroiled in patent disputes. Here is an overview of how our litigation financing works:

• There are no monthly payments owed to us. Repayment of the funding only comes from proceeds if the case results in a settlement award or judgment.

• Once approved, funding can be provided within as little as 2-3 days to start paying litigation expenses.

Plaintiff Litigation Funding Requirements

For patent infringement plaintiffs specifically, there are some basic requirements to qualify for our litigation funding:

• Your company must own a valid patent that is being infringed upon. The patent must be registered properly and all maintenance fees paid to date.
• Infringement must be provable. Your attorneys will need strong evidence and ability to prove the defendant violated your patent rights.
• The potential damages award must be substantial. Likely damages of at least $10 million or more help warrant our litigation investment.
• Your legal team must have significant intellectual property litigation experience. We prefer attorneys with proven patent case success.
• Your company must demonstrate a need for funding based on financial hardship, high case costs or both.

We conduct rigorous due diligence on each patent case before approving funding. But the process is smooth if these requirements are met. With the right plaintiff case, we can provide the financing support needed to take on even the largest infringing companies.

Defendant Litigation Funding Requirements

For defendants accused of patent infringement, we also offer litigation financing but under slightly different requirements:

• The case against you must have apparent weaknesses that can be exploited by your defense team. We provide funding for cases you have a good chance of winning or settling favorably.
• Your company must have urgent financial need. Patent cases strain resources fast. We can provide funding relief so you can mount the strongest defense possible.
• Your technology must have clear evidence of prior art or other Basis to invalidate the plaintiff’s patent. Proving their patent is invalid is a key strategy.
• As with plaintiffs, your attorney team must have significant intellectual property and patent litigation experience to take full advantage of vulnerabilities in the plaintiff’s case.

By funding strong defense cases, our litigation financing helps defendants fight infringement claims and avoid unreasonable settlement demands or court-awarded damages. Talk to us to determine if your patent case qualifies for defendant funding support.
