Common law bars restraints on the alienation

of property.

“If a man be possessed of a horse or any other

chattel, real or personal, and give his whole

interest or property therein, upon condition that the donee or vendee shall not alien the same,

the same is void, because his whole interest and property is out of him.” Lord Edward Coke.

Copyright: 17 U.S.C. 109(a): Notwithstanding the copyright owner’s distribution right, the owner of

a copy “lawfully made under this title” may sell or otherwise dispose of that copy.

Patent: The first authorized sale of a patented

article “exhausts” the patent when an unconditional sale frees the purchaser from

patent liability for use and resale. U.S. v. General Elec. Co. 272 U.S. 476 (1926).

Exhaustion rules for IP

Trademarks: Trademark rights are exhausted as to a given item upon the first authorized

sale of that item. Bandag, Inc. v. Al Bolser’s Tire Stores, Inc., 750 F.2d 903.

Antitrust: The general antitrust rule for postsale

restrictions on use and resale also applies to such restrictions on sold patented articles; a

restriction within the scope of the patent claims is valid. Mallinckrodt, Inc. v. Medipart,

Inc., 976 F.2d 700.

Disputed applications of exhaustion rule

Mallinckrodt, no exhaustion: A post-sale

restriction on re-use of a patented

nebulizer was enforceable in a patent

infringement action. (1992)

Jazz Photo, no exhaustion: US patent

rights are not exhausted by a first sale

that occurs abroad because patent

exhaustion is a legal doctrine that has

no extraterritorial application. (2001)

Disputed applications of exhaustion rule

Quanta, exhaustion: Restrictions in master

sales agreement but not in the patent

license did not apply to downstream

buyers. (2008)

Kirtsaeng, exhaustion The first sale statute

in the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 109(a)),

stating the exhaustion rule for copyrights,

is not limited by geography. (2013)

Lexmark sells some of its patented ink cartridges under a discounted price plan that includes a

“single use” restriction.

Lexmark sued after-market ink cartridge makers for

infringing its patented technology in its printer cartridges by purchasing and re-using expended

cartridges.

The district court held that a patent owner cannot

avoid exhaustion with conditional sales in the U.S. under Quanta, but can do so for foreign sales

under Jazz Photo.

On appeal, the Federal Circuit sua sponte

granted en banc review on two questions:

1. Must Federal Circuit law on conditional sales under Mallinckrodt be overruled in light of the

Supreme Court’s Quanta decision?

2. Must Federal Circuit law on international exhaustion be overruled in light of the Supreme

Court’s decision in Kirtsaeng on exhaustion under Section 109(a) of the Copyright Act.

Preliminary Questions

What is the difference between exhaustion of

rights for a patented article and exhaustion

of rights for an unpatented article?

Is the exhaustion doctrine directed to the sale

of the article or to the sale of the patent

right?

Does an authorized sale compel the patent

owner to surrender to the buyer all patent

rights in the sold article?

11 © AIPLA 2015

Page 15: Access webinar materials here

10/13/2015

12

Conditional sales questions

Does it matter that the post-sale restriction

imposed by the patent owner is based on

health and safety?

What is the difference between an

authorized sale and a sale that complies with

post-sale restrictions?

Is an unauthorized sale by a licensee subject

to an infringement action or is it only subject

to a breach of contract action?

12 © AIPLA 2015

10/13/2015

13

Conditional sales questions

What are the patent owner’s remedies

against a downstream user if that user lies to

the selling licensee about its uses?

Why isn’t a conditional sale for practical

purposes a lease? Is it different from shrink-

wrap licensing?

Does Section 271(d)(5) eliminate antitrust

concerns for most post-sale restrictions?

13 © AIPLA 2015

10/13/2015

14

International exhaustion questions

Is Kirtsaeng dispositive here as a statement

about common law exhaustion, or is properly

limited as a statutory interpretation decision

under the Copyright Act?

What does Kirtsaeng say about applying U.S.

common law exhaustion principles

extraterritorially?

What about the government’s argument that

patent owners can impose foreign-sale

conditions only if they do so explicitly?

14 © AIPLA 2015

Page 18: Access webinar materials here

10/13/2015

15

International exhaustion questions

Does a requirement that the patent owner

give notice of a reservation of rights

undermine the strict liability character of

patent rights by introducing an element of

intent?

Is the government’s position on international

exhaustion consistent with its position that

patent owners may not reserve rights in

domestic sales?
