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.

Kohler Co. appeals from the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts’ denial of jud g- ment as a matter of law that claims 1 –6, 8, and 10– 12 of U.S. Patent No. 7,314,044 and claims 26 and 28 of U.S. Patent No. 7,832,196 ( collectively “asserted claims”) would have been obvious and lack sufficient written description and the determination that Kohler willfully infringed the asserted claims . WBI P, LLC cross -appeals the court’s denial of its post -trial motion for a permanent injunction.
