Wi-Lan USA, Inc. v. Apple Inc., No. 15-1256 (Fed. Cir. Aug. 1, 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.

This appeal arises from an infringement action Wi - LAN, Inc. and Wi -LAN USA, Inc. (Wi -LAN) filed against Apple, Inc. (Apple). Wi -LAN claims that Apple’s iPhone operating on a 4G network infringes its U.S. Patent Nos. 8,311,040 (the ’040 patent) and 8,315,640 (the ’640 p a- tent). Based on several claim constructions the district court reached, it granted Apple summary judgment of noninfringement on all asserted claims. It then denied Wi-LAN’s motion for reconsideration of that grant of summary judgment.
