Background: Static Controls makes and sells microchips used by other companies to make toner cartridges for Lexmark's laser printers. When Lexmark sued Static Controls for violating its copyright and patents, Static Controls counterclaimed, arguing Lexmark violated the Lanham Act by falsely telling customers that Static Control's products infringed on Lexmark's intellectual property. The Supreme Court had to decide whether Static Controls could pursue its Lanham Act claim, even though it does not directly compete with Lexmark because it does not sell printers.
