United States Federal Circuit

In this patent infringement action, plaintiff Ormco alleges that defendant infringed their ‘896 patent, an orthodontic braces patent. Judgment of non-infringement is affirmed, where the district court’s construction of the claim term “support surface” correctly resolved the uncertainties in the claim language and aligns with the description of the invention, which, according to the parties’ stipulation, suffices for non-infringement.
