In WesternGeco LLC v. ION Geophysical Corp., the US Supreme Court held that "under the Patent Act, a company can be liable for patent
infringement if it ships components of a patented
invention overseas to be assembled there." See 35 U. S. C. §271(f)(2). The Court stated under 35 U.S.C. §284 "a patent owner who proves infringement
under this provision is entitled to recover damages" and held the patent owner should recover its lost foreign profits ($90 Million).
