"Technology companies should take the joint infringement defense into account when drafting patent claims, defending against infringement charges, and planning claim construction arguments. From a patent applicant's perspective, companies should draft claims to describe the actions of a single actor or controlled by a single actor. Conversely, companies should assert a divided infringement defense when defending against charges of infringement that require multiple independent actors to commit the allegedly infringing acts."
