◆Summary:
Against the general presumption against the extra-territorial application of U.S. patents, the Supreme Court in WesternGeco v. ION Geophysical Corp. (2018) held that the patentee could recover its lost profits for lost foreign service contracts performed in international waters as a result of 271(f)-type infringement. Because the decision was silent on 271(a), lower courts have struggled to apply the new legal framework consistently. Recently, in March of this year, the Federal Circuit addressed the open question about recovering damages for foreign conduct under 271(a) in a post-WesternGeco world. Have the rules of the game changed and does the Federal Circuit's opinion in Brumfield v. Interactive Brokers (2024) resolve any -- rather than raise even more -- questions?
