What are the basic principles for judging patent infringement?

Legal analysis: 1. Principle of universal coverage

The principle of universal application is one of the most basic principles to judge patent infringement, that is, if the infringing object or method is infringed, then the product or method should have every feature described in the patent claim and be indispensable.

2. Principle of reciprocity

The principle of equivalence refers to that when one or several technical features are different from the necessary technical features recorded in the claim on the surface, but actually achieve the same function and achieve the same technical effect, the technical features of the infringing object are regarded as equivalent.

3. The principle of estoppel

The estoppel principle refers to the content abandoned by the patent applicant or patentee in the process of patent application or maintaining the validity of patent right, which can no longer be included in the scope of patent protection.
