Herbert Markman and Positek, Inc. v. Westview Instruments, Inc. And Althon Enterprises, Inc.public domain
MAYER, Circuit Judge, concurring in the judgment. Today the court jettisons more than two hundred years of jurisprudence and eviscerates the role of the jury preserved by the Seventh Amendment of the Constitution of the United States; it marks a sea change in the course of patent law that is nothing short of bizarre. Sadly, this decision represents a secession from the mainstream of the law. It portends t
