State F and State M are member states of the European Union. Simultaneously (but independently and without any knowledge of the other), Herr Fritz and Mademoiselle Marie invent a new mousetrap. Fritz patents his in State F and Marie hers in State M. Parallel Co. purchases mousetraps from Fritz in State F and exports them to State M where it sells them in direct competition with Marie. Marie now brings suit to enjoin Parallel from doing this. The court hearing this suit will:
A.
award the injunction, since the sale of a patented invention manufactured by someone other than a patent holder or licensee infringes the rights of the member states to grant patents.
B.
award the injunction, since the sale of mousetraps manufactured by someone other than Marie infringes Marie’s right to manufacture mousetraps in State M.
C.
refuse to award the injunction, because the free movement of goods throughout the Union cannot be impaired for any reason.
D.
refuse to award the injunction, because rights held by a patent holder are exhausted once the goods manufactured under the patent are put into circulation anywhere in the Union.
