United States Federal Circuit

In an infringement action about disavowal of claim scope, involving a patent that contains clear and unequivocal statements that the inventor intended to limit the claimed invention to a trash bag with 'short seals' at its upper corners that extend inwardly to narrow the bag's upper opening, the district court's judgment is affirmed where it correctly construed the term 'short seal' to require that such seals extend inwardly.
