NovaCure Ltd. holds a Philippine patent for a novel photo-curable resin used in 3D printing, comprising (a) a product claim to the resin composition and (b) a method claim to a curing process using UV light at a specified wavelength for a defined exposure time. NovaCure has not licensed anyone. PrintForge Philippines copies the resin composition and uses it in its 3D printers to produce and sell finished printed objects. DistribuMate Importers, Inc. imports the resin from PrintForge for sale in the Philippines. Do PrintForge's and DistribuMate's acts infringe NovaCure's patent? Explain with reference to the scope of infringement and any defenses that may apply.

Choose the Best Answer

Only the importer infringes; the printer does not infringe because the resin is consumed during printing. The patent is invalid for lack of novelty, so neither act constitutes infringement. Experimental-use defense applies here, as PrintForge is testing the resin for quality improvements. Yes. PrintForge infringes both the product claim and the method claim; DistribuMate infringes by importing the patented resin for sale in the Philippines; neither act is excused by the facts.
