Petition for certiorari denied on June 21, 2022
Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
21-438 Fed. Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2021

Issue: Whether the Seventh Amendment allows the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to reverse a jury verdict based on a sua sponte new claim construction of a term the district court concluded was not a term of art and construed to have its plain and ordinary meaning; where the Federal Circuit’s sua sponte claim construction essentially recasts a specific infringement factual question, previously decided by the jury, as a claim construction issue, to be decided de novo by the appellate court.
