I think your example with the watches is actually entirely non-relevant. I personally don&#x27;t advocate for laws forcing companies to sell isolated parts to third-parties. It&#x27;s certainly a <i>nice</i> thing for a company to do, and I would take that into consideration during a purchase.<p>To be analogous, the watch companies would need to be suing people for repairing their watches, perhaps by cannibalizing parts from other broken watches. I haven&#x27;t heard of any watch makers doing that, and until they do, there is no attempt to subvert the doctrine of first-sale that we are seeing with the Lexmark case.
