1. Vita-Mix Corp. v. Basic Holding, Inc., 2008-1479, -1517, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT, September 16, 2009, Decided

OVERVIEW: The district court erred as a matter of law in finding that a patentee, which claimed an improved consumer food blender, had disclaimed all types of stirring in the prosecution history, which contradicted the court's prior claim construction; there was no contributory infringement under 35 U.S.C.S. § 271(c), however.
