	AJINOMOTO CO., INC. v. ARCHER-DANIELS-MIDLAND CO.
		Ajinomoto sued ADM, invoking 35 U.S.C. §271(g) and charging that the genetically engineered bacteria imported by ADM and used in the United States infringed the '765 patent because the bacteria were made by the method patented in the United States.
		Ajinomoto's complaint contained an appropriate statement of its standing, and the record before the district court identified the exclusive license agreement from Licensintorg, the assignment of this agreement to Genetika, the assignment of the patent from Genetika to Ajinomoto, and the assignment of the patent by the inventors to Ajinomoto.
		Ajinomoto bore the burden of establishing that the imported strains were manufactured by a process covered by the '765 patent, and ADM bore the burden of establishing its defense that it had "authority" to perform the challenged actions.
