A U.S. district judge has said its unconstitutional for plaintiffs to sue on claims that expired patents have appeared on defendant products. That the matter was a function of the federal government to pursue.
This
type of lawsuit had become another growth 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. (See
