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.

This case comes before the court for construction of a claim term pursuant to a remand from the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. See O2 Micro Int'l Ltd. v. Beyond Innovation Tech. Co., 521 F.3d 1351 (Fed. Cir. 2008). Pursuant to that court’s mandate, this court must construe the “only if” limitations in the asserted patents. Claim 1 of the ‘615 patent is illustrative of the relevant claim language.
