Supreme Court Seeks Government Advice On Patent Case
AP 4.17.07 courtesy of Law.com
The Supreme Court on Monday asked the Bush administration to weigh in on a patent case that could impact any company with global supply chains.
The Court has not yet decided whether to take the case, but instead asked the U.S. Solicitor General -- the government's lawyer -- to offer its opinion on whether the Court should wade into the dispute.
At issue is whether a patent holder can seek royalties from multiple companies as a patented product works its way through the manufacturing process.
