Patent infringement and criminal law patent protection

The field of patents is the most important within industrial property, as it protects inventions and the position of inventors and patent holders. The interests of investors, scientists, researchers, and inventors must be somehow united in a legal system that benefits all these stakeholders, as the future of innovative creation depends on them. A patent is a right granted to the inventor and patent holder, providing certain benefits related to the invention they have patented. Thus, the patent system aims to reward the effort, knowledge, creativity, time, and money invested in creating new inventions, which leads to an expansion of knowledge in the field of industrial property, subsequently driving industrial progress. Since there are no rights without legal protection, the issue of legal certainty is linked to the development of the patent system. Various protection mechanisms are available to the inventor and patent holder through administrative procedures, as well as mechanisms to protect against infringements. What particularly interests us is which protection mechanism is most suitable in a specific situation, especially in the modern era.
