One, singular sensation … Using indefinite articles in patent language

$225.00

SKU: IIPfm133. Category: .

Description

Abstract: When one technology company sued another for patent infringement, the district court dismissed the case, concluding that, for infringement to have occurred, the location facility — which performed multiple functions — must be contained on a single computer. The plaintiff appealed, arguing that the location facility could be distributed among multiple locator server computers. This article shows that the court’s ruling came down to whether the indefinite articles “a” and “an” in a patent mean “one or more” or “one only.” Citation: 01 Communique Laboratory, Inc. v. LogMeIn, Inc., No. 2011-1403, July 31, 2012 (Fed. Cir.)
