Case: Patents/Claim Construction (S.D.N.Y.)

A federal district court in New York construed a disputed claim term in Molo Design Ltd.'s action against Chanel Inc. for infringement of a patent that describes an article of flexible furniture used to partition a room. The court declined to construe the term “supports,” and construed the term “self-supporting” as “able to stay upright and resist collapse without being supported by something else.”
