. . . . should have been settled by the Supreme Court case involving Intel, Samsung, and Quanta (known as the Quanta decision). Intel had a chip licensing agreement with Samsung, and Samsung paid royalties to Intel on chips made by Samsung and sold to others, including Quanta. Intel insisted that Quanta also should pay royalties, but the Supreme Court ruled that Quanta didn't have to, owing to patent exhaustion.

Art,

Quanta decision involved patent rights sold by LG to Intel. Intel then sold its product with LG IP to Quanta. LG, not Intel, was the party to the dispute seeking royalty payments. BTW, the LG agreement had expressed language limiting Intel's ability to sell licensed LG IP where it would be combined with components from another source. SCT did not give any legal enforceability to such language.
