This morning, the Federal Circuit released a nonprecedential opinion and two nonprecedential orders. The opinion comes in a patent case appealed from the Central District of California and addresses claim construction and prosecution history estoppel. One of the orders transfers an appeal, while the other dismisses an appeal. Here is the introduction to the opinion and links to the orders.
NG LLC v. CreatedHair Designs, LLC (Nonprecedential)
Plaintiff-Appellant NG LLC appeals the decision of the United States District Court for the Central District of California granting summary judgment of non-infringement as to the asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 10,945,477 and 10,881,159. NG challenges the district court’s (1) claim construction for the term “the wig grip apparatus terminates at the forward periphery,” and (2) application of prosecution history estoppel to bar NG’s doctrine of equivalents argument. For the reasons discussed below, we affirm.
