Case: Patents/Procedure (Fed. Cir.)

The Federal Circuit reversed and remanded the decision of a federal district court in Pennsylvania excluding expert testimony and granting DePuy Synthes Co. judgment as a matter of law on an inventor’s action for infringement of patents for surgical techniques and tools for treating spinal deformities. According to the appeals court, one expert’s testimony didn’t contradict the court’s claim construction, and the other expert’s survey methodology issues went to weight rather than admissibility.
