Quanta v. LGE is a 2008 decision by the US Supreme Court which had a big influence on patent exhaustion.

NOTE: this page is very incomplete. It currently serves as a place to document the case to see if there are important aspects for software patents.

The context

  • LGE purchased patents
  • LGE licensed those patents to Intel
  • Quanta purchased chips from Intel
  • Quanta sold computers with the Intel chips plus non-Intel chips
  • LGE sued Quanta
  • The Supreme Court said: "the exhaustion doctrine prevents LGE from further asserting its patent rights with respect to the patents substantially embodied by those [Quanta] products"
