Commil USA, LLC v. Cisco Systems, Inc.- United States Supreme Court
575 U.S. 632, 135 S. Ct. 1920 (2015)

Commil USA versus Cisco Systems concerns the knowledge standards for induced infringement of a patent in the incredibly lucrative WiFi network industry.

Commil held a patent on a method of implementing short range wireless networks.

Commil sued Cisco systems, alleging that Cisco had infringed its patent by making and using networking equipment. It also alleged that Cisco had induced others to infringe Commil's patent by selling them the equipment.

The district court held that Cisco had directly infringed Commil's patent. At a second trial on the induced infringement issue, Cisco argued as a defense that it had a good faith belief that Commil's patent was invalid.

The court refused to allow Cisco to present evidence of this belief, and the jury returned a verdict for Commil.

After this verdict was issued, the United States Supreme Court held in Global Tech Appliances versus SEB that in an action for induced infringement, the plaintiff must show that the alleged inducer both knew of the relevant patent and knew that the induced acts were infringing.

The federal circuit held that the district court had incorrectly excluded Cisco's evidence of its good faith belief in the patent's invalidity.

Pointing out that no one can infringe an invalid patent, it vacated the judgment. The Supreme Court granted cert.
