In a Markman ruling, a district court hearing a patent infringement case interprets and rules on the scope and meaning of disputed patent claim language regarding the patents in suit. A Markman decision is often a significant factor in the progress and outcome of patent infringement litigation.
In the recently issued Markman Order, the Court denied the request by the defendants to change the interpretation of some of the claim terms that were in dispute in the litigation, leaving them unchanged from what was previously adopted by the court in the Markman ruling in its other ongoing infringement action against Cisco, Apple and NEC.
