Dr. Jonathan Berall sued on claims 1–15 of U.S. Patent No. 5,827,178, directed to laryngoscope technology; the case was transferred from the Southern District of New York to the Eastern District of North Carolina, which construed the claim term “mounted on” and granted summary judgment of non-infringement. On appeal, the Federal Circuit affirmed the transfer order, adopted the district court's construction of “mounted on,” and affirmed the summary judgment of non-infringement.
