What does Infringement Risk refer to?

• A. Potential legal issues from using patented inventions
• B. Financial risk from license fees
• C. Risk of data loss
• D. Risk of mislabeling products

Answer: (A)

Infringement risk is the potential legal trouble from using patented inventions without proper authorization. If a sprinkler component or method is protected by a patent, installing or selling it without a license can lead to patent infringement claims, lawsuits, or required royalties. This risk is about legal liability, not about data loss, mislabeling, or the direct costs of licensing in general. You manage it by choosing non-patented or licensed technologies and by ensuring suppliers have the rights to the patented technology.
