"Whoever actively induces infringement of a patent shall be liable as
an infringer. {FN51: 35 U.S.C. §271(b)}," which may have been the

happened to create a schematic clearly showing how a
commercially produced electronic assembly worked, could
I um HE be sued for 'inducing an infringement'?

What if HE received money for doing that reverse
