M-I LLC v. Fpusa, LLC, No. 15-1870 (Fed. Cir. Sept. 24, 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.

FPUSA, LLC, appeals from an order of the district court granting M-I LLC’s motion for a preliminary injun c- tion. The distr ict court enjoined FPUSA from promoting, selling, or renting a system for recovering drilling fluid that infringes claims 1 and/or 16 of M-I’s patent. Because the district court did not abuse its discretion in granting an injunction with respect to claim 16, w e affirm the preliminary injunction as to c laim 16, vacate as to claim 1, and remand with instructions to reform the injunction consistent with this opinion.
