United States v. Univis Lens Co.
''United States v. Univis Lens Co. '', 316 U.S. 241 (1942),〔(FindLaw ) 316 U.S. 241 (1942).〕 is a decision of the United States Supreme Court explaining the exhaustion doctrine and applying it to find an antitrust violation because Univis's ownership of patents did not exclude its restrictive practices from the antitrust laws. The ''Univis'' case stands for the proposition that when an article sold by a patent holder or one whom it has authorized to sell it embodies the essential features of a patented invention, the effect of the sale is to terminate any right of the patent holder under patent law to control the purchaser's further disposition or use of the article itself and of articles into which it is incorporated as a component or precursor.
==Background==
Univis, the owner of various method and product patents on optical lenses, manufactured lens blanks and sold them to licensees. When the unpatented blanks were ground and polished they became patented lenses. The licenses required the licensees to sell the lenses at prices that Univis fixed.
The lens blanks were specially adapted for making the patented lenses, so that the Court was led to assume that sale of the blanks by an unlicensed manufacturer to an unlicensed person that ground and polished them so that they became the patented lenses would be contributory infringement. The only use to which the blanks would be put and the only object of their sale was to enable the manufacture of the patented lenses.
