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, instead, was a function of the federal government to pursue.
This type of lawsuit had become another ploy for aggressive lawyers.
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. Moreover, is it a crime to let the public know you had the original patent?.
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 the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
