United States Federal Circuit
Trading Techs. Int'l, Inc. v. eSpeed, Inc., 08-1392
In plaintiff's action for patent infringement for patents relating to software for displaying the market for a commodity traded in an electronic exchange, judgment of district court is affirmed where: 1) defendant's infringed the asserted claims of one patent with one accused service product, but not willfully; 2) the two other accused products did not literally infringe, and as such, plaintiff is precluded from asserting infringement under the doctrine of equivalents; 3) the on-sale bar of 35 U.S.C. section 102(b) does not apply; 4) there are no indefiniteness problems in the asserted claims; and 5) there is no finding of inequitable conduct during the prosecution of the patents-in-suit.
