United States Federal Circuit

In a patent infringement dispute involving certain claims to a system and a method for inspecting integrated circuits printed on substrates such as wafers, judgment of the district court that patents are valid, enforceable, and infringed and awarding lost profits and grant of a permanent injunction are affirmed where the court properly denied defendant's motion for judgment as a matter of law and a new trial on invalidity while dismissing its inequitable conduct defense and counterclaim, but reversed where the court erred in its claim construction.
