1. Global Products develops patents and markets software. World Copies, Inc. sells Global’s Software without the marker’s permission. Is this patent infringement? If so, how might Global be able to save the cost of suing World Copies Inc. for infringement and at the same time profit from World’s sales? (20 points)

World Copies Inc. selling the software which is patented by Global Product is the case of patent infringement. Any unauthorized (without permission) selling or usage of patent product/process is considered illegal and termed as patent infringement. In order to avoid the litigation cost and making the profit from the sales of World Copies, Global Product needs to initiate licensing of the patent software. That way, the company will receive profit for every sale made in the past and in future.
