Papst Licensing v. FujiFilm Corporation, No. 14-1110 (Fed. Cir. Feb. 2, 2015)

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.

Papst Licensing Gmb H & Co. KG owns U.S. Patent Nos. 6,470,399 and 6,895,449. The written descriptions PAPST LICENSING v. FUJIFILM CORPORATION 3 are largely the same , the ’449 patent having issued on a divisional application carved out of the application that became the ’399 patent. The focus of b oth patents is an interface device for transferring data between an i n- put/output data device and a host computer. The current appeal involves whether certain digital-camera manufac- turers infringe Papst’s patents .
