NATO’s Supreme Court amicus curiae brief in Illinois Tool Works, Inc. v. Independent Ink, Inc., No. 04-1329 -- a case considering whether to retain the presumption that antitrust market power arises from ownership of a patent (or also, as some trade association amicus parties urged the Court to hold, a copyright). NATO’s amicus brief urges the Court to limit any holding to the domain of patents, and not to extend its ruling to the distinct domain of copyrights.
