You make a product, sell it with their knowing the person who bought it also agrees not to copy it, Peroid.
Not likey, but not impossible.
The Supreme Court refuses to hear over 90% of the cases that come to them. They usually don’t hear cases that lack importance, or don’t present a federal question.
The Court considers hearing cases when the law was passed by congress, The Constitution is being voilated, or it questions the laws set forth by the Constitution. It also considers hearing cases that will have a major effect on all of the country, where the government is a party, a crime that is committed and has crossed statelines.
Usually, the Court prefers to hear cases that present a federal question though.
I think they would take it. But the issue would be intellectual propery rights and patent rights.
(But I’m no lawyer … I just watch Court TV.)
