Lost Sales: Competitive Effects
Section 102(a) (20) defines contractual use restriction as an enforceable restriction created by contract which concerns the use or disclosure of, or access to licensed information or informational rights, including a limitation on scope or manner of use.
Section 307(b) states that If a license expressly limits use of the information or informational rights, use in any other manner is a breach of contract.
These two provisions allow companies to prohibit:
- Criticism of their mass-market products
- Reverse engineering of their mass-market products.
