United States Federal Circuit
Brain Life, LLC v. Elekta Inc., 2013-1239
Summary judgment in favor of defendant, holding that plaintiff's patent infringement claim was barred on res judicata grounds is: 1) vacated in part and remanded, where neither claim nor issue preclusion bars its claims; but 2) affirmed in part, where the Kessler Doctrine as announced in Kessler v. Eldred, 206 U.S. 285 (1907), precludes the majority of plaintiff's claims.
