marking estoppel

Patents. Estoppel that prevents a party from asserting that a product is not covered by a patent if that party has marked the product with a patent number.

• This type of estoppel has been questioned in recent years, and has been sharply limited by some courts. [Cases: Patents 222. C.J.S. Patents §§ 394–395.]
