Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using this website (rockinnovationip.com), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

2. What This Site Does

This website is run by Rock Innovation LLC. It provides information about Rock Innovation's patent portfolio, a contact channel, and a partner portal through which approved users may request and download selected materials.

3. Informational Content

Website discussions of patents, citations, products, industries, or claim language are general information and the views of Rock Innovation. They are not legal advice, an infringement opinion, a validity opinion, or a statement that any company uses Rock Innovation's technology. Patent citations are public prosecution records; a citation alone does not establish who submitted the reference, why it was included, commercial relevance, or infringement. Verify patent information through official records and consult qualified counsel for a product-specific analysis.

4. Portal Accounts

You must provide accurate account information, maintain the confidentiality of your credentials, and promptly tell us about suspected unauthorized use. You are responsible for activity through your account. Accounts and access requests may be approved, denied, limited, or revoked by Rock Innovation.

5. Protected Materials

Portal access is limited to the account and document categories we approve. Unless a document or separate written agreement states otherwise, access does not transfer ownership, grant a patent license, authorize redistribution, or permit publication of protected materials. Download and access events may be logged for security and administration.

6. Acceptable Use

Use the website and portal only for lawful purposes. Do not:

• Interfere with the site's operation
• Submit false information or impersonate another person
• Share credentials or attempt to access unapproved accounts or documents
• Bypass access controls, probe for vulnerabilities, or send excessive automated requests
• Copy, publish, or redistribute protected materials without permission

7. Contact and Access Submissions

We may use information you submit to respond, review access requests, maintain records, and send related transactional messages. Submission does not require us to enter a licensing discussion, approve portal access, or provide materials.

8. Intellectual Property

The site's original text, design, and layout belong to Rock Innovation LLC or its licensors. Public patent records remain subject to the rights and terms of their respective sources. No site access grants rights under any Rock Innovation patent or other intellectual property.

9. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or deactivate an account, revoke document access, or restrict use when reasonably necessary to protect the service, enforce these terms, or respond to legal or security concerns. You may stop using the service at any time and may request account deactivation through the contact form.

10. No Warranties

The site, portal, and materials are provided "as is" and "as available." We do not guarantee uninterrupted access or the accuracy, completeness, or fitness of content for a particular purpose. Patent information should be independently verified through official records.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Rock Innovation LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on the site, portal, or materials.

12. External Links

Links to USPTO.gov and Google Patents are provided for verification. We're not responsible for the content or availability of external sites.

13. Changes

We may update these terms at any time. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms.

14. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States.
