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.

Defendant-Appellant LifeCell Corporation (“LifeCell”) appeals from a final judgment of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia entered in favor of Plaintiff-Appellee LifeNet Health (“LifeNet”). Following claim construction and trial, a jury found LifeNet’ s U.S. Patent No. 6,569,200 (“’200 patent”) infringed by LifeCell and not invalid . The district court denied LifeCell’s motion for a new trial and renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law (“JMOL”) on, inter alia, claim construc- tion, non-infringement, and invalidity.
