A U.S. district judge has ruled it’s unconstitutional for plaintiffs to sue on claims that expired patents have appeared on some 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 the owner of 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.
