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.

Once more, we address the stringency of pleading re- quirements in cases alleging patent infringement. Once more, we explain that patentees need not prove their case at the pleading stage.
