Late yesterday, the Federal Circuit released a nonprecedential order voluntarily dismissing an appeal. This morning, the Federal Circuit released one precedential opinion, one nonprecedential opinion, one nonprecedential order, and one Rule 36 judgment. The precedential opinion affirms a district court’s judgment with respect to validity and infringement in a patent case; the nonprecedential opinion affirms a final written decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board invalidating all claims of a patent; and today’s order also dismisses an appeal. Here are the introductions to the opinions and links to the dismissals and Rule 36 judgment.
Osseo Imaging, LLC v. Planmeca USA, Inc. (Precedential)
Planmeca USA Inc. (“Planmeca”) appeals the District of Delaware’s denial of its motion for judgment as a matter of law (JMOL) upholding the jury’s verdict that: (1) Planmeca infringes Osseo Imaging, LLC’s (“Osseo”) U.S. Patent Nos. 6,381,301, 6,944,262, and 8,498,374; and (2) certain claims of the ’301 patent, ’262 patent, and ’374 patent are not invalid for obviousness. The district court did not err in holding that Osseo’s expert testimony and other evidence provide substantial evidence supporting the jury’s verdict of infringement. Likewise, substantial evidence supports the jury’s verdict of nonobviousness of the challenged patent claims. We thus affirm.
Uniloc 2017 LLC v. Sling TV, LLC (Nonprecedential)
Uniloc 2017 LLC (“Uniloc”) appeals a final written decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“Board”) in an inter partes review (“IPR”) determining all claims of U.S. Patent No. 9,721,273 (“the ’273 patent”) unpatentable. We affirm.
