Supreme Court Holds Supplying Single Component Insufficient For Section 271(f)(1) Liability | Practical Law
In Life Technologies Corp. v. Promega Corp., the US Supreme Court held that supplying a single component of a multicomponent invention is not an infringing act under 35 U.S.C. § 271(f)(1) because a single component is not sufficient to qualify as "a substantial portion" of a multicomponent invention under the statute.
