Patent Exhaustion: Supreme Court Fatigue?
Published January 1st, 1970
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear an argument in the Quanta v. LG Electronics case. The issues involve some interesting patent doctrines and their interplay with technologies of today. The case involves LG licensing some chipset patents to Intel with some express contractual provisions — including one requiring that Intel notify its customers that the chipsets Intel sells them should not be used with non-Intel products. In other words, LG and Intel had an agreement, and Quanta was warned against unauthorized usages of the Intel products.
