    • Note
    • The first-sale doctrine, sometimes called the doctrine of patent exhaustion, long antedates both misuse and antitrust doctrine. It holds that once a patentee has sold a patented article, he loses the ability to impose furdier restrictions on post-sale activity. The doctrine originated in Bloomer v. McQuewan, 55 U.S. (14 How.) 539, 549 (1852) ("[W]hen the machine passes to die hands of the purchaser, it is no longer within the limits of the [patent] monopoly."). The doctrine applies only to sales, but in MPPC the projector had in fact been sold, not leased or licensed. MPPC overruled the Court's decision five years earlier in Henry v. A.B. Dick Co., 224 U.S. 1 (1912), which had refused to apply die first-sale doctrine to a post-sale restriction requiring die seller of a patented mimeograph machine to use only die patentee's paper, ink, and stencils. Recendy die Supreme Court reaffirmed die vitality of die first-sale doctrine and used it to invalidate a form of reach-dirough royalty agreement See Quanta Computer, Inc. v. LG Elecs., Inc., 553 U.S. 617 (2008). For further discussion of die first-sale doctrine and reach-through royalty agreements

    • Although the Supreme Court's decision in Mercoid Corp. v. Mid-Continent Investment Co. (Mercoid I), 320 U.S. 66t (1944), closely followed these earlier cases, it will not be discussed in great depth in the text, mainly because Congress explicidy overruled it in die 1952 Patent Act. There, Mid-Continent sued Mercoid for selling a combustion stoker switch whose sole use was as part of a heating system over which Mid-Continent held a combination patent. The Court acknowledged that Mercoid manufactured and sold die switches for use in die patented system and Uierefore assumed "that Mercoid did not act innocendy."

    • Nevertheless, die Court refused to hold Mercoid liable for contributory infringement. Citing its earlier cases, die Court refused to allow Mid-Continent to expand its patent over the combination to include control over die individual unpatented elements of die combination. The Court explained as follows: The patent is for a combination only. Since none of die separate elements of die combination is claimed as the invention, none of them when dealt with separately is protected by the patent monopoly⋯. If a limited monopoly over the combustion stoker switch were allowed, it would not be a monopoly accorded inventive genius by die patent laws but a monopoly born of a commercial desire to avoid die rigors of competition fostered by die anti-trust laws. If such an expansion of the patent monopoly could be effected by contract, die integrity of the patent system would be seriously compromised

In Triad, die Ninth Circuit permitted the manufacturer of specialized computers to maintain a copyright-infringement action against independent service organizations who copied the plaintiffs diagnostics software. The court also held that there was no misuse based on an attempt to expand coverage of the copyright because copyright protection extended to the servicing of the computers as well as the diagnostics software. Furthermore, the court indicated that misuse would occur only if Triad had attempted to prevent the independent repairers from developing their own diagnostics software independendy.

    • Id. On the difference between antitrust and misuse the court wrote: No effort has been made by WIREdata to show that AT has market power merely by virtue of its having a copyright on one system for compiling valuation data for real estate tax assessment purposes. Cases such as Lasercomb, however, cut misuse free from antitrust, pointing out that die cognate doctrine of patent misuse is not so limited, though a difference is that patents tend to confer greater market power on dieir owners than copyrights do, since patents protect ideas and copyrights, as we have noted, do not. The argument for applying copyright misuse beyond the bounds of antitrust, besides die fact diat confined to antitrust die doctrine would be redundant, is that for a copyright owner to use an infringement suit to obtain property protection, here in data, diat copyright law clearly does not confer, hoping to force a setdement or even achieve an outright victory over an opponent that may lack the resources or the legal sophistication to resist effectively, is an abuse of process.

    • Neither of the Supreme Court's treatments of package licensing as patent misuse confronted any issue of foreclosure of competition or innovation. In Automatic Radio, the Supreme Court found that a package license might be reasonable when numerous and complex technologies create uncertainty about which patents a licensee will need. It approved the lower court's conclusion that the package was "a convenient mode of operation designed by the parties to avoid the necessity of determining whether each type of petitioner's product embodies any of the numerous Hazeltine Patents." Automatic Radio, 339 U.S. at 833. This "convenience" rationale led the Court to believe that the agreement to use the package was "voluntary," and therefore valid.

    • Subsequently, in Zenith Radio, the Court found misuse. It distinguished Automatic Radio by suggesting that in the earlier case the package license agreement had been entered voluntarily, while in the latter case it was compelled. Further, in the latter case, die patentee required die payment of royalties even on products Uiat did not employ any of die licensed patents. In distinguishing Automatic Radio die Court wrote: It could easily be, as the Court indicated in Automatic Radio, Uiat die licensee as well as the patentee would find it more convenient and efficient from several standpoints to base royalties on total sales than to face die burden of figuring royalties based on actual use. If convenience of die parties radier dian patent power dictates die total-sales royalty provision, there are no misuse of die patents and no forbidden conditions attached to die license. But we do not read Automatic Radio to audiorize die patentee to use the power of his patent to insist on a total-sales royalty and to override protestations of die licensee that some of his products are unsuited to die patent or diat for some lines of his merchandise he has no need or desire to purchase die privileges of die patent. In such event, not only would royalties be collected on unpatented merchandise, but die obligation to pay for nonuse would clearly have its source in die leverage of die patent.

In most cases, it seems that extending royalties over unpatented goods does not exclude anyone, and die royalty provision is very likely no more dian a device for measuring die licensee's output for purposes of computing die royalty. As die cridque of die leverage theory shows, a patentee generally cannot obtain more royaldes than die licensee is willing to pay simply by enlarging die base upon which royalties must be measured. In a few cases, however, royaldes on unpatented products may consdtute an exclusionary pracdce.

Although royalty stacking also creates an anticommons problem, it is a different problem than the one imposed by reach-through royalties. Most importantly for present purposes, to insist on a royalty for use of one's own patent does not become misuse simply because other patentees also insist on royalties when the patents are used in the same device. While many of those who write on royalty stacking find that it can lead to patent thickets and excessive royalties, they generally do not suggest that it is a problem that can be repaired by misuse doctrine.
