Abstract

What does it mean to infringe a patent by “making”? And when an invention has replaceable parts – ink cartridges, bottles, razor blades, etc – is replacement an act of making, or an act of repair? This note tackles these questions by reference to the leading UK Supreme Court decision, Schütz v Werit (2013).
