They could get your patent invalidated if they can demonstrate you copied them
I like that fundamental misunderstandings of how the law works can still be found on this website, was my favorite part of reddit
wouldnt that force them to admit the public patent and all its details are a copy? thus confirming exactly how the device works.....and isnt that something they dont want?
They would still have to pay an inordinate amount of money in legal fees fighting it, and if they invalidate the patent then the publication would go public domain.
