Supreme Court Rules US Patents Expire With Foreign Counterparts
The Supreme Court held that a US patent for a game invention expires when a foreign patent for the same invention expires. In Bate Refrigerating Co. v. Ferdinand Sulaberger et al, Justice Harlan stated the US patent is considered previously patented abroad and thus ends before the standard seventeen years from its date. The decision affects about 400 million dollars in capital and involved multiple patent attorneys over two to three days of hearings.
