PSN Illinois, LLC v. Ivoclar Vivadent, Inc.

The Federal Circuit affirmed a decision of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois granting summary judgment of noninfringement of the plaintiff-appellant's patent claiming a method of fabricating porcelain veneers for teeth. The court concluded that the district court construed the claim term "ready for mounting" too narrowly but held that, even under the correct construction, no infringement occurred.

Before MICHEL, Chief Judge, LINN and PROST, Circuit Judges.

PSN Illinois, LLC (“PSN”) appeals from the district court’s summary judgment of non-infringement which resulted in a stipulated judgment and dismissal. Stipulated Judgment and Dismissal, PSN Illinois, LLC v. Ivoclar Vivadent, Inc., No. 04-CV-7232 (N.D. Ill. July 6, 2007). We heard oral argument on March 3, 2008. Although we conclude that the district court construed the claim term “ready for mounting” too narrowly, we nevertheless affirm the district court’s summary judgment of non-infringement because even under the correct claim construction, clearly no infringement occurred.
