Sicom Systems Ltd. v. Agilent Technologies, Inc., and Tektronix, Inc., and Lecroy Corporation

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that the right to sue for commercial infringement, but not non-commercial infringement, signified that the transferee lacked \the exclusive right to sue for all infringement\
• holding that a licensor remained the patentee based on rights to sue for noncommercial infringement and to consent to assignment
• holding that Sicom lacked standing, in part because the license agreement limited Si-com’s right to assign its interests in the patent
• holding that a licensee could not sue for infringement because, among other things, it did “not have the right to settle litigation without the prior written consent from” the patent owner
• stating that the exclusive right to sue for patent infringement is an important and often dispositive right
• noting that the lower court’s finding of the restriction on alienation was a “fatal” reservation of rights by the transferor
