You're Not Exhausted: U.S. Patent Rights Are Not Exhausted By Foreign Sales

Your client International Marketers, Inc. (IMI) owns U.S. and foreign patents for an improved football.

However, IMI knows that the price consumers will pay for its football is much higher in the United States than elsewhere. IMI is concerned that footballs sold by it and its licensees to distributors outside the United States might be purchased by third parties and imported back into the United States at a price below what it hopes to charge distributors in the United States.
'Add-on Patents': Innovation or Sham?
February 25, 2005
Some recent estimates suggest that by 2007 brand name pharmaceutical companies will lose more than $80 billion in drug sales because of patent term expirations.

Such significant losses provide incentive to extend patent life and maximize the period of market exclusivity for a patented drug.

We call it reclaiming the ring.

Martignon</i>, No. 03 Cr. 1287 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 27, 2004). Unfortunately, the analysis in the decision misses the essential point that the issue was not really one of copyright.
