[License-discuss] Essential step defense and first sale

[Alexander Terekhov]

Take this:

https://www.winston.com/en/where-we-are/north-america/silicon-valley.html#!/en/thought-leadership/supreme-court-holds-that-patent-exhaustion-applies-to-all-sales.html?aj=ov&parent=6585&idx=1

"In yet another rebuke to the Federal Circuit, the U.S. Supreme Court held
yesterday in Impression Products v. Lexmark International that the doctrine
of patent exhaustion bars a patentee from interfering with a legitimate
purchaser’s downstream uses of a patented product.  ... Lexmark gave up the
right to sue buyers or users for patent infringement—even if they violated
the limitations on post-sale use or resale. The Court explained that
Lexmark’s remedy, if any, is to sue the original buyer for breach of
contract. "

Same as with copyright "first sale" / "exhaustion".
