Biomedino, LLC v. Waters Technologies Corporation

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• discussing the inclusion of “means” in claim language creates a presumption of § 112, ¶ 6
• making clear that “structure supporting a means-plus-function claim under § 112, ¶ 6 must appear in the specification.”
• “The inquiry [in a means-plus-function claim] is whether one of skill in the art would understand the specification itself to disclose a structure, not simply whether that person would be capable of implementing a structure.”
• “While the specification must contain structure linked to claimed means, this is not a high bar: all one needs to do . . . is to recite some structure corresponding to the means in the specification . . . .” (alteration adopted and quotation omitted)
