Case: Patents & Trademarks/Procedure (Fed. Cir.)

The Federal Circuit affirmed in part and vacated and remanded in part the decision of a federal district court in California entering a declaratory judgment that Indect USA Corp. didn’t infringe Park Assist LLC’s patent directed to methods of using camera-based technology for the management of parking spaces and denying Indect’s requests for judgments of invalidity and unfair competition. The appeals court affirmed the district court’s determinations of patent validity and its claim construction rulings, and vacated and remanded for a new trial with respect to the district court’s decision invalidating the patent under the on-sale bar.
