Norian v. Stryker (Fed. Cir.)

Norian v. Stryker

In the most interesting portion of the case, the Appellate Court found that the District Court erred in allowing the jury, while determining validity, to consider factual misstatements made by the patentee during prosecution. (Jury did not rule on inequitable conduct.) The Appellate Court did not overrule the verdict on that point, however, because no objection was made at trial.

The case was reversed and remanded on other grounds.
