How courts have described this case

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

• applying Ninth Circuit law and re- versing grant of summary judgment in view of conflicting testimony
• reviewing a noninfringement judgment on the merits based on a claim construction inferentially set forth by the trial court
• overturning grant of summary judgment due to conflicting expert testimony that was supported by the factual record
• vacating summary judgment of no infringement under doctrine of equivalents because patentee’s expert’s inspection report on the accused device created a genuine issue of material fact precluding summary judgment
• “Without evidence in the patent specification of an express intent to impart a novel meaning to a claim term, the term takes on its ordinary meaning.”
• a dictionary provides objective definition when words are used in their ordinary meaning
