Old Patents Can Be Dangerous

After your patents expire, be careful not to advertise your ownership. You can be sued by enterprising lawyers . And monetary penalties are high per infraction.

Moreover, there can be a penalty for each unit of sale you make where that expired patent has been advertised.

This is particularly dangerous if you are a manufacturer.of multi-unit items. So look around the shelves of the products you display..
