<As of now, they still allow double dipping, but are aiming in the same direction as the U.S. law.>

What direction is that?

<According to the US Federal Supreme Court ruling in LG v Quanta, express limitations in the licence agreements for method patents may avert exhaustion. Thus, licence programmes should be diligently structured and worded inresponse to this recent case law.>

Where does it say that double dipping in the USA is no longer allowed? I can only find the above that seems to state the opposite.
