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.

In its January 22, 2008 Memorandum Opinion and Order (Dkt. No. 91) (“Markman Order”), the court found two claim limitations i n United States Reissued Patent No. RE38,985 (“the ‘985 patent”) indefinite under 35 U.S.C. § 112. The court concluded that asserted independent claims 1, 16, 21 and 62 of the ‘985 pate nt are invalid. The cour t informed the parties that it would treat defendant’s Motion for Entry of Final Judgment as a motion for summary judgment of indefiniteness as to the remaining asserted claims in this case.
