United States Federal Circuit

In an appeal from a judgment of the district court in a patent infringement action relating to balloon-expandable stents, judgment is affirmed because, as to one claim, defendants did not literally infringe of plaintiff's claim and where the court properly denied plaintiff JMOL on the issue of non-infringement by the reverse doctrine of equivalents, while rejecting the contention that two of defendants' claims are unenforceable due to inequitable conduct.
