The Federal Circuit issued an opinion recently that may have opened the door for even non-exclusive licensees to sue for infringement. The article, “No Patent, No Problem! The Federal Circuit Paves the Way for Non-Patent Owners to Sue Infringers,” examines a recent decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and analyzes the cases leading up to it, in which the Court seemed to cast aside decades of precedent and open the door for non-patent owners, including even non-exclusive licensees, to sue for patent infringement. We explore this new case and forecast what its impact might be on future patent litigation.
