Rule

Analysis

In applying the rule to the facts, the court must consider whether the assembly and use of the patented combination in a foreign country constitutes infringement under U.S. law. The key factor is whether the combination is made or used in the U.S., as the statute specifies that infringement occurs within the territorial limits of the United States. Since the assembly and testing occur outside the U.S., it raises questions about the applicability of U.S. patent laws to this situation.

Conclusion

The court's decision will hinge on the interpretation of U.S. patent law concerning the assembly and use of patented inventions in foreign jurisdictions.

Who won?

The prevailing party in this case will depend on the court's interpretation of the patent laws as they apply to the facts presented. If the court finds that the assembly and use of the apparatus outside the U.S. does not constitute infringement, the petitioner may prevail. Conversely, if the court determines that the combination's assembly in a foreign country still falls under U.S. jurisdiction, the patent holder may prevail.
