WEBER, INC. v. PROVISUR TECHNOLOGIES, INC. , No. 22-1751 (Fed. Cir. 2024)
Annotate this CaseIn a patent dispute between Weber, Inc. and Provisur Technologies, Inc. before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Weber appealed two final written decisions from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. The Board had determined that Weber failed to establish the unpatentability of the claims of Provisur’s patents relating to high-speed mechanical slicers used in food-processing plants. The Board found that Weber’s operating manuals were not prior art printed publications and that the prior art did not disclose two challenged claim terms. The Court of Appeals reversed the Board's determinations that Weber's operating manuals do not qualify as printed publications and that the prior art does not disclose the "disposed over" and "stop gate" limitations. The court then vacated the Board's conclusions that Weber failed to establish unpatentability of the challenged claims, and remanded the case for further proceedings.
