Schroeder Published in Saint Louis University Law Journal

John Schroeder's article "Should Foreign Sales Exhaust U.S. Patent Rights Post Quanta?" appears in the Winter 2011 issue of Saint Louis University Law Journal. Mr. Schroeder states that despite the Supreme Court decision Quanta Computer, Inc. v. LG Electronics, Inc., appellate review is still needed to clarify the question of whether foreign sales exhaust U.S. patent rights. He concludes that although there "are valid arguments as to why foreign sales should exhaust a U.S. patent holder's rights in articles that the patent holder authorized to be sold abroad...there are even stronger policy reasons as to why such sales should not exhaust U.S. patents."
