Woods v. Deangelo Marine Exhaust, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• declining to import a limitation into the construction of “elongated outer shell” in part because claims in a related abandoned patent application explicitly required the limitation
• “This court will not construe this otherwise clear term to include a limitation already present in some claims but not others.”
• “Rule 26(e) requires that as theories mature and as the relevance of various items of evidence changes, responses to interrogatories, and particularly contention interrogatories, be corrected or supplemented to reflect those changes.”
• “This court has recognized that answers to contention interrogatories evolve over time as theories of liability and defense begin to take shape; answers to those interrogatories may not come into focus until the end of discovery.”
• failure to supplement under Rule 26(e) is grounds for excluding evidence
• trial court has discretion in whether it finds waiver
