Protect Your Aftermarket Business, Learn the Limitation of Patents Now!

Among the above investigations, four ended up being granted a GEO! It’s a wake-up-alarm for the Aftermarket industry. Not only the respondents listed in the GEO are impacted. Once a GEO is issued, every Aftermarket professional who produces or sells the same products covered by the GEO is affected.

In the past week, RT Media reported three aftermarket companies were hit by four seizure and forfeiture orders respectively: Environmental Business Solutions, Ninestar Technology Co. Ltd. and Billiontree Technology USA Inc. None of these companies were on the original investigation lists!

Many Aftermarket companies are wondering how they can find out vital patent information involved in the 337 investigations. However, searching is time consuming just to find the simplest facts of the patent: the issue date, region, related components, and expiry date.
