Supreme Court decision in Spider-Man toy case

Be­cause the Su­preme Court chose not to over­rule a 1964 de­cision on Monday, Mar­vel doesn’t have to pay roy­al­ties to the in­vent­or of a Spider-Man toy after the ex­pir­a­tion of the toy’s pat­ent. Monday’s de­cision is peppered ref­er­ences to the su­per­hero.
