Koninklijke Philips N.V. v. Zoll Medical Corporation, No. 14-1764 (Fed. Cir. July 28, 2016)

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.

Philips sued Zoll for infringement of numerous p a- tents related to external defibrillators. Zoll counter- claimed for infringement of its own patents covering related technology. The parties presented their cases to a jury, which f ound, among other things, that both parties’ patents are not invalid, both parties directly infringe the asserted patents, but Zoll does not contributorily infringe the asserted Philips patents. The district court denied all motions for judgment as a matter of law, and both parties appeal these denials.
