A U.S. patent is infringed when a person or organization, without authority from the patent owner, makes, uses, offers to sell, imports, or sells the patented invention in the U.S. during the term of the patent. In most situations, a U.S. patent can be infringed only after the patent has issued. That is, while the term of the patent is measured from its filing date, legal rights are defined only by the claim-content of an issued patent.

Infringement of a U.S. patent also includes inducing another to infringe a patent or by contributing to the infringement by selling a material component of a patented invention which is made or especially adapted for use in infringing the patented invention.
