This morning the Federal Circuit released one nonprecedential opinion and two nonprecedential orders. The nonprecedential opinion comes in a patent case on appeal from the Southern District of California. Both nonprecedential orders dismiss appeals. Here is the introduction to the opinion and links to the dismissals.
DNA Genotek Inc. v. Spectrum Solutions LLC (Nonprecedential)
DNA Genotek Inc. (“Genotek”) owns U.S. Patent No. 10,619,187 (“the ’187 patent”), which is directed to compositions and methods for preserving nucleic acids at room temperature for extended periods of time and for simplifying the isolation of nucleic acids. Genotek accused Spectrum Solutions LLC (“Spectrum”) of infringing its ’187 patent. After claim construction, the district court granted summary judgment that the ’187 patent was not infringed. Genotek appeals, arguing that the district court erred in its construction of the “reagent compartment” term in claim 1 of the ’187 patent. We affirm.
