Ask HN: How to challenge a patent?

19 points

10 years ago

We have developed a 3d try room [1]. It is one of its kind. Today, I came across this patent [2] which seems to be very generic. It is like patenting a laptop with a keyboard and a charger. I would like to protect our startup.

Applicant's site is not working as per their patent. Seems like they just wanted to patent their dream functionality.

Please let us know what are our options.
