Papst Licensing GMBH v. Fujifilm Corp., No. 14-1110 (Fed. Cir. 2015)
Annotate this CaseThe descriptions for Papst Licensing’s 399 and449 patents are largely the same, the 449 patent having issued on a divisional application carved out of the application that became the 399 patent. The focus of both is an interface device for transferring data between an input/output data device and a host computer. The district court, applying and elaborating on its constructions of various claim terms, entered summary judgment of non-infringement, concluding that none of the accused digital cameras come within any of the asserted claims. The Federal Circuit vacated the summary judgment of non-infringement, rejecting the court’s constructions of construction of “interface device,” “second connecting device,” “data transmit/receive device,” “virtual file,” and “input/output device customary in a host device.”
The court issued a subsequent related opinion or order on February 3, 2015.
