Qui Tam Marking Suits Continue

By Timothy J. Maier on June 10, 2010 11:58 AM

Under "New Patent Litigations" on PriorSmart today were several new qui tam marking cases recently filed by the same plaintiff against some notable companies.  Links to the PriorSmart page with a portion of the complaint are provided below:

McNamara v. Country Life, LLC et. al.

McNamara v. Natural Organics, Inc. et. al.

McNamara v. Vitamin Shoppe, Inc.

McNamara v. Elizabeth Arden, Inc.

We mentioned in a previous blog post the rise of qui tam suits that has occurred since the Forest Group decision (we also discuss the issue more in-depth here).  It looks qui tam marking suits are here to stay until reform legislation cuts them off.
