In this episode of the Litigation Quality Patents® Podcast, discussion bears on any consumer product with a consumable or disposable member to it. But why did a company bring suit for inducing infringement instead of asserting their patent rights directly? Maybe because their patents were dubious or too narrow to begin with. They lost...through an interesting combination of the principles of patent exhaustion and the type of claim they tried to justify.
Guest-hosting this episode for a traveling Craige is Dr. John Leighton, associate attorney with Thompson Patent Law. Joining him is special guest Mike Heinrich, an attorney and consultant in Engineering and Intellectual Property areas.
