1. Edwards Lifesciences LLC v. Cook Inc., 2009-1006, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT, September 22, 2009, Decided
OVERVIEW: Patents relating to grafts for treating occlusive diseases of blood vessels without open surgery were not infringed since patent claims were properly construed to require that the grafts be intraluminal with malleable wires which precluded any resilience of the wires, and competitors' self-expanding wires were primarily resilient.
