Q: So is this patent restricting anyone else from making any type belt temp sensor kit using infrared and digital display
I was looking to use a different ir thermal sensor with it's own circuit board controller and LCD display with my own computer coding for operation. I am referring to razorback technology patents
A:
Generally, to determine if a patent can limit the activities of others there would need to be a determination of the following: (a) if the patent in question is still active; (b) an interpretation of the claims of the patent -- analyzing what is actually covered -- and if the potential actions will literally infringe or infringe by a doctrine of equivalents; and (c) the possibility that the patent may be found invalid. These issues are fact specific – and require some time.
This answer includes generalizations and there are many caveats. This answer does not form an attorney client relationship. Consider hiring an attorney to analyze the specific facts to your situation.
