4 University of Maryland School of Law Definition Common law Distinct De minimis 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(1) Plant Variety Protection Act Fair Use (copyright & trademark)
5 University of Maryland School of Law Origin [I]t could never have been the intention of the legislature to punish a man, who constructed such a machine merely for philosophical experiments, or for the purpose of ascertaining the sufficiency of the machine to produce its described effects. Whittemore v. Cutter, 29 F. Cas. 1120 (C.C.D. Mass. 1813).
6 University of Maryland School of Law Past [A]n experiment with a patented article for the sole purpose of gratifying a philosophical taste, or curiosity, or for mere amusement is not an infringement of the rights of the patentee. Roche Prods., Inc. v. Bolar Pharm. Co., 733 F.2d 858, 862 (Fed. Cir. 1984) (citing Peppenhausen v. Falke, 19 Fed. Cas. 1048, 1049 (C.C.S.D.N.Y. 1861)).
7 University of Maryland School of Law Present Narrow scope Limited to actions performed for amusement, to satisfy idle curiosity, or for strictly philosophical inquiry. Madey v. Duke Univ., 307 F.3d 1351 (Fed. Cir. Oct. 3, 2002).
8 University of Maryland School of Law Madey v. Duke Univ. [U]ndertaken in the guise of scientific inquiry but has definite, cognizable, and not insubstantial commercial purposes. [I]f it has the slightest commercial implication. [I]n keeping with the legitimate business of the alleged infringer.... [T]he profit or non-profit status of the user is not determinative.
9 University of Maryland School of Law Madey v. Duke Univ. [M]ajor research universities... often sanction and fund research projects with arguably no commercial application whatsoever. However, these projects unmistakably further the institutions legitimate business objectives, including educating and enlightening students and faculty participating in these projects. These projects also serve, for example, to increase the status of the institution and lure lucrative research grants, students and faculty.

Patents Act 1977, Art. 60 § 5
15 University of Maryland School of Law Japan [T]he effects of the patent right shall not extend to the working of the patent right for the purposes of experiment or research. Japanese Patent Law § 69(1)
