The Supreme Court granted review today in a patent exhaustion case, Quanta Computer, Inc. v. LG Electronics, Inc., S. Ct. Docket No. 06-937.

The Federal Circuit denied the exhaustion defense in the case. LG Electronics, Inc. v. Bizcom Electronics, Inc., 453 F.3d 1364 (Fed. Cir. 2006).

In late August, the SG’s office filed an amicus brief recommending that the Supreme Court grant review in the case. SCOTUSblog reports on and links to this amicus brief here.

More to follow, no doubt …
