Let's say, hypothetically, a company gets a PP on a product, produces it and begins to sell it. Then a few months later this company discovers that one of their competition is selling an exact knock-off of their product. And lets assume that all of the filing for the PP was done properly and accurately and the company holding a patent on the product files suit. How complicated could the outcome of this scenario possibly be? I can understand that there have been countless cases in patent law that would make anyone's head spin - likely dealing in cases where there are multiple individuals involved, multi-million/billion $ companies going head to head, etc etc, but I'm not interested in those sorts of scenarios as they just dont apply to a sole proprietor running a small business selling a simple patented product and engaging in a lawsuit against another small business who has copied one of their products. For all intents and purposes, the scenario I am referring to IS the textbook definition of what a patent is for. I really just dont see the complication of the process.
