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.

Globus Medical, Inc. , appeals the district court’s deci- sion denying its Rule 59(e) motion and denying as moot its Rule 50(b) motion. Flexuspine, Inc. , cross-appeals from the district court’s grant of summary judgment of noninfringement of its U.S. Patent No. 8,123,810 (“ ’810 patent”). We affirm the district court’s decisions (1) denying Globus’s Rule 59(e) motion, (2) denying as moot its Rule 50(b) motion, and (3) granting summary judgment of noninfringement. I Flexuspine filed a complaint alleging Globus infringed five patents.
