A quick definition of inducing infringement:

Inducing infringement is when someone encourages or helps another person to break the law by using someone else's invention, creative work, or trademark without permission. This is also called "contributory infringement." It is against the law to do this, and the person who encourages or helps can be held responsible for the infringement, even if they didn't directly do it themselves. It's like if someone tells their friend to steal a toy from someone else, they are also in trouble for the theft.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Inducing infringement is the act of actively and knowingly aiding and abetting direct infringement by another person. It is a type of contributory infringement that interferes with one of the exclusive rights of a patent, copyright, or trademark owner.

Examples:

  • A company knowingly sells a nonstaple item that has no substantial noninfringing use and is especially adapted for use in a patented combination or process, thereby aiding and abetting another person's patent infringement.
  • A person actively induces, causes, or materially contributes to the infringing conduct of another person, or provides the goods or means necessary to help another person infringe, in the copyright context.
  • A manufacturer's or distributor's conduct in knowingly supplying, for resale, goods bearing an infringing mark in the trademark context.

These examples illustrate how inducing infringement involves knowingly and intentionally assisting someone else in infringing on someone's intellectual property rights. It is a form of secondary liability that holds individuals or companies responsible for their role in facilitating infringement.

LSAT can be one of the drills

@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+
