Hot Products owns a patent for a fan motor that it uses in ceiling fans. Allied Electric uses a fan motor that is identical to Hot's in the air conditioners it manufactures. Allied does not have Hot's permission to use the motor. Can Hot win a patent infringement case against Allied?

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hot can win a patent infringement case against Allied because Allied infringed on Hot's patent right.

A Patent right is a property, mostly intellectual, that gives the owner of the property the power/right to ensure that only he/she owns that particular product and that no other persons or firms can produce, sell, import or export that property type.

Since Hot has patent right, no other company including Allied can produce, sell or export that fan motor.

I hope this helps.
