Making Infringers Pay: A Lunchtime Roundtable Discussion
In eBay Inc. v. MercExchange L.L.C., the Supreme Court made clear that permanent injunctions are not always available in patent cases. Thus, infringers may be required to pay but not have to stop infringing a patent. The case has profound implications for inventions that are only components of larger devices and for “patent trolls,” companies that own patents but do not produce any goods.  This roundtable will explore the role of injunctions in patent, copyright, and trademark law, exploring their similarities and differences.

 

All students and faculty are invited to come along to participate in, or simply listen to, the discussion.  Refreshments will be served.

 

Come here what Professors Hulbert, Staudt, Piatt and myself have to say about this important case.  Also, learn a little bit more about the Intellectual Property Law Society and the Chicago-Kent’s Program in Intellectual Property Law.

 

The eBay opinion is available at:
