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.

The parties and this litigation appear before us for the second time, having taken a long and winding road since Exmark filed its patent infringement suit against Briggs in 2010 alleging infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,987,863. The procedural history leading up to the first appeal was thoroughly explained in our prior opinion, Exmark Mfg. Co. v. Briggs & Stratton Power Prods . Grp., LLC, 879 F.3d 1332 (Fed. Cir. 2018) , and only claim 1 re- mains at issue .
