You are mistaken

Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, June 07 2013 @ 03:36 PM EDT

"He cannot infringe by using the invention only by copying it.
In copyright you can not infringe by reading a book (a book is supposed to be
read) only by copying it (that is the right that the author have). When in doubt
in the ideal case it helps to engage the brain. That is why we have it!"

A patent allows you to prevent others from making, selling, importing or USING
your invention.

Moreover, if the claims of the patent are directed toward a METHOD OR PROCESS,
and the thing you are using performs that process, then your use of that machine
is an infringement of that process claim. You are performing the claimed and
patented process. You, the end user, are the one infringing.
