Patent Infringement for Overseas Product Needs More Than One U.S. Supplied Piece

摘要

The U.S. Supreme Court put new limits on accusations that a U.S. company has infringed a patent overseas, by ruling that Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.'s Life Technologies unit doesn't owe damages for supplying one component of a patented invention that was put together in the U.K. (Life Technologies Corp. v. Promega Corp., U.S., No. 14-1538, 2/22/17).
