Supreme Court backing for nonpatented invention royalties
The Supreme Court ruled that a Chicago woman, Jane Aronson, must receive royalties from Quick Point Pencil Co. for a key ring she invented, even though it lacked a patent. The 5 percent royalty over five years, later halved if no patent issued, stands despite no patent protection. The case covered $203,964 paid over 20 years and potential broader royalty implications.
