WOW Tech Talks Patents

Berlin, DE – WOW Tech created the market for Pleasure Air Technology stimulation devices with innovative technology that is covered by a worldwide portfolio of patents. We are aware that some competitors from time-to-time tout having one or more patents for technology they use in some of their products. We urge retailers and distributors not to be fooled into believing this means the competitor does not infringe our patents—it does not. The fact that a competitor may have a patent does not ensure that its product does not infringe our patents. Because patents have different scopes but can overlap in certain ways, it is possible for a product covered by one patent to also infringe another patent.

But when the Patent Office issues a new patent, it does not consider whether or not existing commercial products covered by that patent also infringe other patents. This means the issuance of a new patent is not any kind of guarantee that a company’s product does not infringe another patent. We take patent infringement seriously and we are committed to holding patent infringers responsible for violating our valuable intellectual property rights. Anyone who makes, uses, sells, offers for sale, or imports products that infringe one or more of WOW Tech’s patents could be held liable for patent infringement, regardless of whether those infringing products are also covered by other patents.

Retailers and distributors who are told that a product does not infringe one company’s patents may therefore be better served by seeking written assurance and maybe even indemnification from the company claiming innocence. The fact that an accused infringer has its own separate patent does not mean that accused infringer (or its retailers or distributors) cannot be found liable for infringing another company’s patents.
