Ask HN: Much bigger competitor infringing startup's pending patents
Is there a viable strategy for this sort of scenario? I'm at a place that has an exciting MVP now in a rather successful public beta. We just noticed a (very) large competitor copying off our product (including/especially the patented bit). We're an ecommerce shop and the pending patent in question is an utility patent for a particular bit of functionality - we've sought 2nd and 3rd legal opinions which concur the validity of the patent.
Bottom line: what strategies can we adopt to fend this off?
