Time Warner, Inc. and the ORC Patents Case Solution
A patent attorney counseled ORC that compact discs lately released by these firms and the compact disc players might be infringing the claims of the just acquired patents of ORC.
Based on this advice, the business carried on to successfully negotiate licensing agreements with the two biggest CD manufacturing companies. The third biggest manufacturing company, WEA Manufacturing, a subsidiary of Time Warner, Inc., kept a standing of noninfringement and invalid patents. With the U.S. patent expiration date looming, ORC determined to sue Time Warner for patent infringement. When the defense counsel presented testimony that challenged the ethics of the licensing agreement, the president of ORC recognized the whole licensing plan was in danger and must determine whether he should take a settlement or carry on with the suit.
