Q. Some company is using parts of my patent for their product. What is the process to stop this from happening?
A: If someone is infringing your product or process, you need to see a patent litigation attorney.

The first thing that the attorney will do is to investigate whether the company is actually infringing your patent. By "infringing your patent", I mean that the company is making or using your invention as defined by the claims.

You will need to show the court that their actions infringe on the claims. Merely using parts of the patent is not infringing activity. After all, the patent discloses much more than just the claims.

Good luck to you!
Q. My father invented something held patent from 1968 though 1983 his idea was taken what can I do dad died
A: Sorry, but there is really not much that can be done now.

Firstly, patents expire. When a patent expires, the owner is not able to enforce it anymore. Your father's patent, if i issued in 1968, would have expired in 1985.

If the patent expired in 1985, and if someone copied the invention as defined by the claims in 1983, you could have sued. But you needed to file a suit against the infringer within 2 years, 4 years, or 6 years (depending on the state), and not wait untill now.
