\nCompetitors\u2019 patents exclude other competitors. If there are many competitors, and a license can be obtained, then it may be preferable for a competitor\u2019s patent to exist.

\n
\nLost Bargaining Chip\u5931\u53bb\u8c08\u5224\u7b79\u7801<\/b>
\nIf a prior art reference invalidates a patent, then the patentee cannot exclude anyone or obtain any license fees. Therefore, un-submitted prior art references can be a negotiation tool for obtaining a license on more favorable terms, especially when there are many other competitors. By submitting the prior art references to the patent office, this bargaining power is lost.

\n\u6709\u8005\u80fd\u591f:

\nFor the reasons above, we suggest opposing patents only when our client is likely the main target of the patent, and no divisional application is pending. Generally, we do not suggest third party observations. However, our suggestions depend on the specific business circumstances of each client.
