Well, my recollection is that CAI v. Altai (FN53: 982 F.2d 693, 23
USPQ2d 1241 2d Cir. 1992) was the more direct precedent for Gates
Rubber v. Bando Chemical.

Micro Star v. FormGen, Inc. and Lewis Galoob Toys, Inc. v. Nintendo of
Am., Inc. would also logically count as essential reading.  Eh, also
throw in Johnson Controls, Inc. v. Phoenix Control Systems, Inc.
