Well I come back to my Craigs list example. Reselling an item

Well that's where you're wrong again bro. You're selling individual items, not boxes of a specific product week after week after week that are being sold under the product's name......Specifically, KK........

Try again..........Sheesh!

Bro, I am not sure its different. If I got taken to court for patent infringement by a patent owner but I can show that the patent owner was aware of millions of other people infringing his patent and didnt do anything about them previously, then the patent suit would likely be tossed as the owner should little care that his idea was already out in public being used and not being protected. So now he has selectively chosen to attack a single case of infringement?

If your correct, all I am asking is show me in law how it applies. I ask because I can think of so many cases where this occurs all over our country. Entrepreneurs making a living by buying in bulk and selling by piece.

Another example, if I buy a ware house and all inside unseen at an auction and it turns out to be full of Levi Jeans, I can re-sell them, on ebay for example, and I can advertise them as what they are. I would not name my business ‘Levi Jeans’, but I could certainly sell them under ‘Magnum’s Factory Warehouse’ and say what brand they were.

It is up to Levi to say in its own web site that if you want to guarantee that the product you get is not a knock-off, then buy directly from them.
