I wasn't aware that the president has the power to veto bans of products based on patent infringement. I don't see anything about it in the Wikipedia article for U.S. patent law[1] either. Anyone have any idea where this power comes from, and when it has been used in the past? I'm kind of surprised that this is a thing, and I'm curious about whether a veto is "permanent" or for a set length of time; I'd expect that this sort of thing couldn't be used to avoid enforcing a patent indefinitely, although maybe it just "expires" if another president decides not to continue "vetoing" it.
