EPISODE 32 - The Examiner Whisperer - LifeScan v. Shasta

In this episode of the Litigation Quality Patents® Podcast, find out how manufacturers can get the wrong patent protection for anything from Keurig coffee makers to glucose meters. For the second time this year, things get exhausted again! The Federal Circuit finds a patent on a machine that uses a highly profitable, but unpatented, consumable and disrupts the business model of the patent owner. Craige explains that if you plan to give away a patented machine to make money on selling the consumables, watch out for patent exhaustion.
