A patent does not necessarily confer market power
The Supreme Court of the United States issued its opinion in Illinois Tool Works, Inc. v. Independent Ink, Inc. case. The decision reflects a changing view of tying arrangements and of the degree of market power conferred by intellectual property rights. The Supreme Court concluded that the mere possession of a patent does not necessarily confer market power upon the patentee: in all cases involving a tying arrangement, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant has market power in the tying product.
