Thepetition of the dayis:

14-540

Issue: Whether public standard-setting and patent-pool licensing agreements that long predate the Clayton Act’s four-year limitations period may indefinitely be subjected to antitrust challenge based on the defendants’ ongoing collection of royalties, where the plaintiff, a longtime licensee, delays filing suit to challenge those pre-limitations agreements until the market has come to depend upon the licensed technology.

Cases: Panasonic Corporation v. Samsung Electronics Co.
