CASE HIGHLIGHTS

摘要

The provision of the Leahy-Smith America Invests Act eliminating the False Marking Statute's qui tarn provision applied retroactively to divest the district court of jurisdiction over a relator's suit alleging that a manufacturer and seller of pet products marked its flying disc product with expired patents. The rela-tor did not allege any sort of competitive injury or personal stake in the litigation's outcome. See U.S. ex rel. FLFMC, LLC v. TFH Publications, Inc., 2012 WL 1337557 (D.N.J. 2012).
