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 patent case is before the Court on the Motion for Summary Judgment of Non-Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,431,294 (“the ’294 Patent”) (“Motion”) [Doc. # 76] filed by Defendant Amega West Services, LLC (“Amega”). Amega argues that it does not infringe the ’294 Patent because its devices do not have a “drill bit support coupled to the body” or a “mass movable relative to the body for impacting on the drill bit support.” Plaintiff National Oilwell DHT, L.P. (“NOV”) filed an Opposition [Doc. # 89], and Amega filed a Reply [Doc. # 92].
