Petition for certiorari denied on November 4, 2019

Docket No. Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
19-211 N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2019

Issue: (1) Whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit erred by affirming a damages award based on unapportioned end-user service revenues; and (2) whether the Federal Circuit erred in ruling that a patent satisfies 35 U.S.C. §112(a)"s requirement of "a written description of the invention" merely because the specification does "not expressly exclude[]" technology within the scope of the patent claims.
