 * ... that in Henry v. A. B. Dick Co., the Court held that Henry's sale of unauthorized ink for use with a patented "Rotary Mimeograph" stencil printing machine manufactured by Dick Co., resulted in infringing use?

 * Hey we aren't lawyers! :-) Can you write a snappier hook? Victuallers (talk) 21:16, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Length is fine. Referenceing is good but not every para ends with a reference. Some paras end with See Imaginary v. Madeup - this wont do as it implies that Wiki is its own reference - which it isn't. Can you fix these references. Maybe a replacement hook might be (something like)
 * ... that the patent misuse law prevents patent owners from extending their legal protection to cover unrelated items?
 * Hope this helps Victuallers (talk) 21:36, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello, and thanks for pointing out the paras without references. I think I updated all of them, please feel free to check and add comments to the talk page. I will do my best to make timely improvements. Sasha
 * Cheers, I think we are about there. There is a para that ends with "...these additions were made by the Patent Act of 1952." that needs a ref and can I suggest that the title should have USA or American in it as the article does not cover the law outside the USA.

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Article has undergone a major streamlining edit (over 8000 net characters removed). The article should be re-reviewed, and the hook should be checked as well to be sure the material covering it still exists and is sourced. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:12, 24 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg - Hook above suggested on 4th Nov (is there a ref?) and title change requested on 9th Nov. All the paras now have referenced (good!), but I cannot see how to do a re-review without the items requested being addressed. If any third party wants to help then please do.

 * Striking original hook as too long. BlueMoonset (talk) 06:57, 8 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg Concerned that there may be OR. Statements such as "Brulotte v Thys Co. established that attempting to collect royalties after a patent expired was misuse." are cited to the course cases themselves, rather than critical analysis; a decision at a lower court could be reversed, or the impact of the case could otherwise be rendered insignificant in terms of patent misuse. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:24, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
 * This has just not been followed up by the nominator - so I'm removing it from the list Victuallers (talk) 11:31, 12 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg Nominator has not edited on Wikipedia for a month. Removing from the list is never the right way to close a nomination, so I'm formally rejecting it, given previous issues and concerns. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:51, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
