Today the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision in Impression Products, Inc. v. Lexmark, International, Inc., holding that patentees retain no rights under patent law after an authorized sale of a patented invention, therefore leaving patentees to rely on license restrictions to control subsequent use of a patented invention. Fitch Even attorneys will post additional details concerning this decision shortly.
