| How will recent Supreme Court decisions impact future patent litigation?
Two recent Supreme Court decisions are likely to change the patent litigation landscape. The Court’s unanimous decision in T.C. Heartland LLC v. Kraft Foods Group Brands LLC will limit the choice of venue in future patent infringement cases. In Impression Products v. Lexmark, the Court rejected post-purchase patent restrictions.
As you review your cases in light of these decisions, remember that Asterion’s experienced IP consultants are available to help develop litigation strategy and assess potential damages.
What happens when food fights don’t end after middle school?
Can rice milk call itself milk? Can cauliflower rice call itself rice? Definition disputes are boiling over for the rice industry, which wants to be able to use the term milk, but prevent riced vegetables like cauliflower from using the label rice. For the Italian government, the dream of creating a “Made in Italy” label has stalled over which products can legitimately make that claim. Even the search for a sweeter strawberry was the subject of recent patent litigation.
IP rights in these matters are difficult to value and if you find yourself in litigation, damages may present unique challenges. If you find yourself in a food fight, the experts at Asterion may be able to assist you.
