If you are considering bringing an action for infringement of a patent, you may wish to consider obtaining an independent opinion. For £200, the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) will review the issues under dispute and give an opinion on infringement or validity of a patent. This service is intended to help you negotiate a settlement or decide whether to commence full legal proceedings.
See the UKIPO website for further information.
