Intellectual Property Law

Chapter 18 Case Study

Case Study: Fit Forever intends to sue a competitor, Fit Club Inc., for infringement of Fit
Forever’s patented water bottle. Fit Forever is concerned that if it sues Fit Club, Fit Club
will allege that Fit Forever’s patent is invalid because Fit Forever did not disclose all
prior art to the USPTO when it applied for the patent.

Activities: What might Fit Forever do to strengthen its patent before it sues Fit Club?
What fees might Fit Forever incur?
