The Supreme Court's Broad View of Patent Damages
Too Long; Didn't Read
In this pivotal Supreme Court decision, the Court rejected the Federal Circuit's narrow interpretation of "article of manufacture" in patent law, asserting that it encompasses both consumer products and their individual components, whether sold separately or not. While the Court refrained from setting a specific test for determining the relevant article of manufacture, this ruling has far-reaching implications for design patent cases, leaving room for further interpretation by the Federal Circuit in future cases.
