for THE FLORIDA BAR
1. Nystrom v. Trex Co., 2009-1026, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT, September 8, 2009, Decided
OVERVIEW: Because a patent owner waived his right to pursue an infringement claim under the doctrine of equivalents in a first infringement suit brought against a manufacturer, a district court erred by denying the manufacturer's and distributors' motion for summary judgment to preclude the patent owner's second suit on res judicata grounds.
