United States Federal Circuit

In a patent infringement suit involving patents directed to various techniques for labeling and detecting nucleic acids, judgment of the district court is affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded where: 1) district court's grant of summary judgment of invalidity of patents '824 and '767 are reversed as the claims of these patents are not indefinite and there are genuine issues of material fact as to anticipation; 2) although the '928 patent is not indefinite, the district court's judgment of anticipation of the patent is affirmed; and 3) the district court correctly construed the claims of the '830 patent in finding noninfringement.
