Taking into account the "400 Patent" in a Tender Quote
Posted: Sat Jan 11, 2014 9:28 am
Hi all,
Has anyone had a potential client request, as part of a formal tender process, the reassurance that any virtual tour work produced as part of the Tender does not infringe the potential "400 Patent"...?
We've been asked to Tender for a project (as I am sure perhaps a number of other UK-based VT producers have too) wherein the Tender states:
"We would also need reassurance that the product produced takes into account the US patent 6,754,400 legal issues. See ivrpa.org/patent for more details."
This is the first time in 7 years we've seen this commercially explicitly stated in a Tender document.
Surely everyone submitting a Quote based on this Tender statement would be potentially liable to the "400 Patent"...?
Advice greatly appreciated...
cheers
