The CAFC reversed a district court's prior ruling that upheld claims of a patent owned by Mondis Technology. The district court had denied LG Electronics' motion for judgment as a matter of law regarding patent invalidity based on inadequate written description. However, the CAFC found that the written description did not adequately support certain claimed inventions, leading to the reversal. Ultimately, the CAFC agreed with LG's argument that the patent's scope was inadequately supported. The case involved U.S. Patent No. 7,475,180 concerning a computer monitor control system.
"Sometimes the patent itself is clear enough that it establishes inadequacy of support in the written description for the full scope of the claimed invention unless there is contrary evidence."
"The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a precedential decision, reversing a district court's decision to uphold the claims of a patent owned by Mondis Technology, Ltd."
