United States Federal Circuit

The cancellation of the asserted claims of defendant's '434 patent, which teaches the use of a dialysis machine with an integrated touch screen interface, by the PTO, pursuant to the agency's statutory reexamination authority, must be given effect in this pending infringement litigation, and therefore the district court's judgment that the '434 patent was valid and plaintiff infringed said patent, is vacated and remanded.
