I'm pretty sure yes, because the patent protection is for a certain time period.
Using a patent w/o a license during the period of the patent is infringement,
although I'm almost certain a statute of limitations applies. Of course, you
can't collect damages for the period after expiration.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"I wonder if you can sure someone for previously
infringing on a patent after it expires?"
(I think they meant 'sue' instead of 'sure')
Sure you can. Anyone can be sued for any reason.
But unless prior to the patents expiration, there was notice given,
or products practicing the patent were marked, you might have a
little bit of difficulty collecting much, if any, in damages.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I've forgotten which one of the scum that help patent trolls lie to courts about
their non-patents is increasingly upset with lawyers who for patent
infringement. The patent infringement consists of including patent markings on
products, after the patent has expired.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
