Invent Around

<ul >

<li ><strong>Inventing around</strong>. A third alternative for your company is to invent around the invention. This implies steering research or making changes to the product or process in order to avoid infringing on the patent(s) owned by others. For example, if your freedom to operate is limited by a process patent, then your company may be able to develop an alternative process for arriving at the same or similar end result and thus be able to commercialize the invention without the need to pay a licensing fee to someone else.</li>
