1). Publish Your Patent Application? ... or Not. By : Terry Williamson
Infringement and Provisional Damages
There is no action for infringement of your patent until it actually issues. However, through publication of your application, it may be possible to obtain provisional damages for the time between publication of the application and the issuance of the patent. Once your patent issues, infringement can give rise to treble damages and an award of attorney fees.
