#patentvalidation

Patent invalidation is the process of challenging the validity of a patent, either in court or before a patent office, by arguing that it does not meet the legal requirements for patentability. This can include demonstrating that the claimed invention was not new, non-obvious, or useful, or that there was an error or omission in the application process. Patent invalidation can be initiated by any party who has an interest in the patent, such as a competitor or a member of the public.
