United States Seventh Circuit

In a dispute arising out of a patent licensing agreement that had been purportedly terminated by defendant, the district court's judgment is vacated and remanded where, although defendants did terminate the agreement, the determination of whether termination was wrongful depends on the proper characterization of a "missing" sublicense related to the patents at issue.
