As of Sept. 16, 2011, marking with an expired patent number is no longer false marking and only the United States or a person who has suffered a competitive injury may bring a false patent marking lawsuit. Previously, any person was entitled to bring a false patent marking lawsuit, which resulted in many lawsuits over marking with expired patent numbers. For further information contact us. |
