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.

Spineology, Inc. (“Spineology”) is the owner of U .S. Patent No. RE42,757 (“the ’757 patent”) covering a surg i- cal device. Spineology sued Wright Medical Technology , Inc. (“Wright Medical”) for infringement in the District of Minnesota. The district court found claims 15, 21–23, and 35 invalid as indef inite and granted summary judg ment of non-infringement as to claims 33 and 34. Because the court correctly construed “body ” and there is no infring e- ment under this construction, we affirm the grant of summary judgment as to claims 33 and 34.
