How soon will the lawyer inform you that he will sue?

There is no necessary connection between receiving a lawyer's letter and being sued. It doesn't mean that you will be prosecuted if you receive a letter from a lawyer. The lawyer's letter itself will not have legal consequences, just a warning.

After receiving the infringement warning letter or complaint from the patentee, the parties concerned should first take it seriously and then distinguish it carefully. If you don't do it yourself, you can reply to the explanation, but you must have corresponding evidence. If you do it yourself, you should carefully analyze whether the infringement is established.

A lawyer's letter refers to a professional legal document made and issued by a lawyer to disclose and evaluate relevant facts or legal issues, and then make a request to achieve a certain effect. There are two levels of legal relationship, one is the authorized relationship between lawyer and client, and this level is the core legal relationship. The second is the legal relationship between lawyers and clients. A lawyer's letter shall, according to the reasonable requirements of the client, give a notice to the other party or explain the reasons to the client within an appropriate scope, so that the client can make a decision.
