Willowood, LLC, et al. v. Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC
Environmental Antitrust Patent Copyright JusticiabilityDoctri
This Petition presents two questions for
review:
1. Whether lability for patent
infringement under 35 U.S.C. §271(g) requires that
all steps of a patented process must be practiced by,
or at least attributable to, a single entity, a
requirement that this Court previously recognized is
a prerequisite for infringement under 35 U.S.C.
§§271(a) and (b) in Limelight Networks, Inc. v.
Akamai Technologies, Inc., 572 U.S. 915 (2014).
2. Whether, by requiring EPA to grant
expedited review and approval of labels for generic
pesticides that are "identical or substantially similar"
to the previously approved labels for the same
product, Congress intended to preclude claims of
copyright infringement with respect to generic
pesticide labels.
Whether the single entity rule applies to patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. §271(g)
