United States Federal Circuit

In a patent case involving methods of playing bingo, a district court's non-infringement and invalidity findings are affirmed where the district court correctly found that defendant did not literally infringe the claims, properly refused to find infringement by equivalents, and correctly found certain patent claims invalid as anticipated by a prior art bingo game.
