In the field of computer and electronics, the structure of the device, the materials used, or the processes at work in an electronic device are not readily apparent to a patent holder seeking to enforce a patent against potentially infringing electronic devices. As electronic devices shrink and become more complex, it is becoming more difficult to fully ascertain all of the structures, materials and processes at work in such devices. The difficulty of analyzing elements of electronic devices to determine whether the electronic devices are infringing a patent raises questions as to what is the level of reasonable inquiry required prior to filing a lawsuit.
