| Date: | 04/30/07 |
| Case Number: | 04–1350 |
| Summary: | In a patent dispute involving adjustable pedal systems and raising issues regarding the "teaching, suggestion, or motivation" test for obviousness, a circuit court decision reversing summary judgment for defendant is reversed where, in rejecting the district court's rulings on obviousness, the Federal Circuit analyzed the issue in a narrow, rigid manner inconsistent with 35 U.S.C. section 103 and the Supreme Court's precedents. |

| Date: | 04/30/07 |
| Case Number: | 05-1056 |
| Summary: | In a patent infringement suit brought by AT&T charging Microsoft with liability for foreign installations of Windows under 35 U.S.C. section 271(f), rulings holding Microsoft liable are reversed as, because Microsoft does not export from the U.S. copies of Windows installed on the foreign-made computers in question, it does not "suppl[y]...from the United States" "components" of those computers, and it is therefore not liable under section 271(f). |
