Abstract
In their jobs, engineers may be exposed to patents if they are inventing new products, features, or processes. Engineers may also be asked to compare their company´s products and processes with patents owned by other companies or inventors. Engineers may also be exposed to patents if they are involved in production and need to ensure that the proper patent numbers are marked on the product or product documentation. In each of these scenarios, the engineer faces ethical issues.
