On May 31, 2011 the United States Supreme Court issued its opinion in Global-Tech Appliances v.
SEB S.A., 563 U.S.______(2011) addressing whether a party accused of inducing patent infringement
under 35 U.S.C. Section 271(b) must know that the accused acts constitute infringement. The
decision essentially stands for the proposition that a defendant that takes deliberate steps
to avoid confirming that there is a high probability of wrongdoing is deemed to have actually
known of facts establishing liability.
