License patent

In the past, USA competing companies could not cooperate, such as in R D, without breaching antitrust laws. Patent pooling, such as collecting and cross-licensing patents, was precluded. Today the antitrust laws are reviewed, interpreted, and enforced less stringently, which permits industrial cooperation in selected and specific areas where poling does exist. This explanation is a simplistic summation to a very complicated situation.

This study concentrates only on patents directly issued to Eastman Kodak, CDT, UDC, Dow Chemical, Covion, IK, and DuPont without the consideration of patent reassignments. If licensed patents are taken into account, the patent landscape of these companies will change significantly. The patents listed for each company are only a part of the IP portfolio in the OLED arena.

It is also important to remember that the courts are refusing to enforce royalty provisions which require a licensee to pay royalty after the licensed patent has expired, if it is the only way covering the goods sold. 

ROYALTY TERM shall mean, with respect to each country in which Product is sold the period of time equal to the longer of (i) ten (10) years from the date of first sale of the Product in such country, (ii) the expiration of the last-to-expire Licensed Patent listed in EXHIBIT A in such country that claims such Product, or (iii) the period of time equal to the Data Exclusivity Period in such country. 

Don t close your mind to cross-licensing patents. 

Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA) A formal agreement between a Federal laboratory and anon-Federal party (individual, university, or private firm) in which the non-Federal party provides resources in exchange for exclusive rights to license patents that result from the collaboration. Congress gave Federal laboratories the authority to enter into CRADAs as part of the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-502). 

In addition to more formal licensing, patent holders can license the use of their patented processes or machines by the ways in which they distribute unpatented goods. Thus, courts have held that a patent holder s sale of unpatented goods that have only one use constitutes an implied license to use the products they have bought in that way. Rohm and Haas Co. v. Dawson Chemical Co., 599 F.2d 685, 203 U.S.P.Q. 1 (5th Cir. 1979), rev d on other...

The measurement of particle size from a few nanometers to a few micrometers in diameter by PCS is now a mature field with a number of commercial companies offering equipment and software packages. Nevertheless, experimental methods continue to evolve. The hrsi instruments were marketed in 1971 by the Malvern (UK) company Precision Devices and Systems (now Malvern Instruments), who licensed patents taken out by the UK Minisiry cf Defense at the Royal Radar... 

Direct costs. The costs of raw materials, utilities (effluent treatment, water and energy for heating, pumping, etc. as well as electrolysis), labour, maintenance and replacement of components (in electrolyses, particularly electrodes or electrode coatings and membranes) and royalties if the company needs to license patent rights in respect to the process. 

Unfortunately for the government, Anderson most likely had little choice in expert witnesses. Nearly all American synthetic organic chemicals manufacturers held stock in the Chemical Foundation, and many benefited from the licensed patents. If the Chemical Foundation lost the lawsuit, the manufacturers faced an uncertain fate that could cost them dearly in back royalties and future profits. American chemists, whether through economic or other motivations, also supported the Chemical Foundation, and more than once a Department of Justice investigator found a technically qualified chemist who had to be dropped from consideration as a witness because he was sympathetic to the defendant.
