I apparently need a little help here.

There's all this excitement about this case where the SC is now involved, and the issue is whether a patent owner can pursue infringers beyond the base supplier of the infringing product/component or user of the patented manufacturing technique. As it stands (current law) there is a limit. The case at hand could broaden that limit. Have I got that right?

How is this a problem for us? Worst case = status quo. Best case = current limitations relieved. We want fewer limitations, because we can then pursue more infringers.

And recognizing current law, the elimination of ARM from our current litigation is a huge win for us (keeping the door open to many more infringers). It seems the smartest approach for us is to pursue the bottom of the supply chain and work our way up.

Corrections more than welcomed.
