" In a recent patent case heard by the Supreme Court in 2009 (Forest Group v. Bon Tool), the Court reinforced the idea that patent protection is for a limited time. The Court reasoned that intentionally continuing to manufacture goods with a patent number of a patent that has expired in an attempt to deceive the public is a deceptive trade practice designed to stifle competition in the marketplace. Potential competitors may be dissuaded from entering the same market if they believe that there is a continued monopoly in place."

Thanks, Mike!
