the 1988 passage of § 271(d), however, may have significantly changed things by establishing that "a patentee may explicitly tie in either a license or sale transaction without being found guilty of misuse as long as its patent does not confer 'market power.' " moreover, patentees are free to do this irrespective of "whether what is tied is ultimately determined to be a staple or non-staple." accordingly, "if the patentee is confident that a non-staple is involved," then it can "also license (but not sell) under section 271(d)(3) with a tie-in condition even if it fears that the patent may be found to confer market power."
