A U.S. district judge has said it's unconstitutional for plaintiffs to sue on claims that expired patents have appeared on defendant products. That the matter, instead, was a function of the federal government to pursue.
This type of lawsuit had become another growrh industry for aggressive lawyers.
After all, there are many issued patents, particularly on consumer products. And patents have a limited life. And it isn’t always convenient to get the patent notice off a label soon after expiration. Or, is it a crime to let folks know you had the original patent in the first place?
But it’s hard to stop lawyers from trying. There are so many of them. And they have to make a good living the best they can.
