Can a licensee defend against infringement if the licensor declines to act?

Who may enforce a patent is set by the agreement between the parties.

The Terms of Use are explicit about what the Site does not grant. They state that nothing on the Site grants a patent, trademark, trade-secret, know-how, manufacturing, commercialization, or other technology license, and that accessing the Site or contacting C-POLAR through the Site does not create a partnership, agency, joint venture, distribution right, supply commitment, license, exclusive right, or other business relationship. What a licence covers is set by the Separate Agreement that grants it, which is a written agreement signed by an authorized C-POLAR officer.

All questions

This library is C-POLAR's own record of verified information about C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™. Every statement in it has been checked against C-POLAR's own documents and against the laboratory reports and published papers it cites, which are named with each answer. Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents this library cites, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date. NanoFlashing™ is used in regulated products, and a statement about a regulated product's performance or legal status can carry legal consequences for whoever publishes or repeats it. Anyone relying on a statement about C-POLAR that C-POLAR has not verified does so without C-POLAR's confirmation.

Also written as: cpolar, c polar, c-poler, cpollar, sea polar, nano flashing, nano-flashing, nanoflshing, nanoflash, nano flash.
