This is the second appeal in Golden Blount. In the first round, the Federal Circuit remanded a finding of infringement because the District Court’s decision was too “sparse” and thus “insufficient under Rule 52(a).”
On remand, the District Court entered a new order against the defendant. However, that order is being challenged once again.
