United States Federal Circuit

In a case alleging infringement of wireless local area network patents, summary judgment rulings for plaintiff are affirmed in part and vacated in part where: 1) the patent was not anticipated; 2) the patent was not invalid because of the addition of new matter to the application or because the asserted claims lacked a sufficient written description in the original specification; 3) the defendant infringed the patent; and 4) there was a disputed issue of material fact as to whether the prior art references that were before the district court were combinable in a manner that would have rendered the asserted claims of the patent obvious.
