United States Federal Circuit

In an appeal from a judgment of patent infringement by the district court concerning a polymer that accelerates hemostasis, judgment is reversed where defendant has absolute intervening rights with respect to products manufactured before the date of reissue and remanded for a determination of whether defendant has equitable intervening rights with respect to products manufactured after the date of reissue, but dismissed as moot on the contention that subject patent as originally issued was invalid.
