Kraft Foods Global Brands LLC (now called Intercon- tinental Great Brands) owns U.S. Patent No. 6,918,532 , which issued in 2005 and was supplemented with add i- tional claims on reexamination in 2011 . The ’532 patent describes and claims a food package that , after opening, can be resealed to maintain the freshness of the food items inside. Kraft brought this patent-infringement suit against Kellogg North America Co. , Keebler Foods Co., and affiliates (collectively, Kellogg) in the Northern District of Illinois .
