There are different ways another party may infringe on your patent, including:

• Direct Infringement: When the manufacturing of a patented product occurs without permission
• Indirect Infringement: When an indirect infringer induces infringement by encouraging or aiding another
• Contributory Infringement: When a party supplies a direct infringer with a part that has no substantial non-infringing use

It is crucial to remember that patents are territorial. A patent granted in the United States only protects your invention within the United States. So, if someone infringes on your patent in India or Europe, you will need to enforce your patent rights in those specific jurisdictions, which might involve filing your invention is those countries where you could potentially want to take legal action.

Patent infringement can be a serious threat to your invention's value. A granted patent gives you exclusive rights to your invention within the issuing territory.

Infringement occurs when someone uses, makes, sells, or imports your patented invention without permission. To ensure comprehensive protection, consider filing patents in the territories where you expect your invention to be used or manufactured.
