DePuy Synthes Products, Inc. v. Veterinary Orthopedic Implant, No. 20-1514 (Fed. Cir. Mar. 12, 2021)

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.

Defendant Veterinary Orthopedic Implants, Inc. (“VOI”) appeals an order of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida. Over VOI’s objec- tion, t he district court directed the clerk to unseal the amended complaint of Plaintiffs DePuy Synthes Products, Inc. and DePuy Synthes Sales, Inc. (collectively “DePuy”). Because we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in performing its obligation to ensure public access to court documents, we affirm.
