World Class Technology Corp v. Ormco Corporation, No. 13-1679 (Fed. Cir. Oct. 20, 2014)

From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Ormco Corporation owns U.S. Patent No. 8,393,896 , which claims a bracket for orthodontic braces that avoids or reduces interference with the gums even when being mounted on a molar tooth. Ormco accuses World Class Technology Corporation of infringing the ’896 patent, and World Class Technology denies infringement. The district court construed two claim terms —“support surface” and “ledge.” In view of the court’s constructions, the parties stipulated to a judgment of non -infringement of the ’896 patent.
