United States Federal Circuit

In plaintiff's action seeking a declaratory judgment that defendant's patent related to a flying wind turbine was invalid and unenforceable, district court's grant of defendant's motion for summary judgment in holding that the terms of the parties' 2008 settlement agreement barred all claims between the parties is reversed as the language of the settlement agreement did not release either claims of infringement of the patent or the accompanying defenses of invalidity or unenforceability.
