United States Federal Circuit
Schindler Elevator Corp. v. Otis Elevator Co., 09-1146
In a patent infringement suit involving a patent directed to an elevator system that recognizes a user when the individual enters an entry location of a building and then dispatches an elevator to bring the user to a destination floor based on user-specific data, summary judgment of noninfringement in favor of defendant is vacated and remanded as the district court erred in construing the terms "information transmitter" and "recognition device" to exclude any "personal action" by an elevator user other than "walking into the monitored area."
