Willowood, LLC, et al. v. Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC
Environmental Antitrust Patent Copyright JusticiabilityDoctri
Whether the single entity rule applies to patent infringement under 35 U.S.C. §271(g)
QUESTIONS PRESENTED 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.
