Olaf S””t Design, LLC v. Daktronics, Inc.
Petition for certiorari denied on June 21, 2022
Issue: Whether the Seventh Amendment allows the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to reverse a jury verdict based on a sua sponte new claim construction of a term the district court concluded was not a term of art and construed to have its plain and ordinary meaning; where the Federal Circuit"s sua sponte claim construction essentially recasts a specific infringement factual question, previously decided by the jury, as a claim construction issue, to be decided de novo by the appellate court.
