Young v. Lumenis

A Reising attorney successfully appealed a district court's decision adverse to his client. Dr. Young holds a patent relating to a feline declaw procedure. Certain of the patent claims were found indefinite, and therefore invalid, by the district court. The district court also found certain claims unenforceable for inequitable conduct. On appeal, The Federal Circuit found the claims not to be indefinite and also found the claims were not procured by inequitable conduct. See Young v. Lumenis, 492 F.3d 1336 (Fed. Cir. 2007) As a result of the reversal and subsequent remand of the case to the District Court, Dr. Young and Lumenis ultimately settled the action.
