2) We discussed whether we will need to mark our product with Gore’s patent when it issues. That is a question of what the contract between Gore and Rapala provides. If required by contract, we should mark. Our general thought, however, is that we should avoid touting the 832 as “patented” under the Gore patent, or marking if we’re not required to do so. This is probably not a big point, but doing so is a bit inconsistent with our argument that Pure Fishing’s narrower patent is invalid. At least a clever lawyer could try to make that argument.
