Date Filed Document Text
May 5, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 64 CLAIM CONSTRUCTION DECISION: Finally, complete concealment is embodied in the description of the invention and in every single figure illustrating the detailed description - most especially in Figure 21, which illustrates the bracket that is configured to accept the electrical wire and to obscure it when attached to the support (wall). I have noted previously that claim language cannot be limited to the preferred embodiment, even if only a single embodiment is disclosed. But where every disclosed embodiment shows a bracket containing an interior passage that would fully obscure any electrical wires run there through - and where nothing in the disputed claim language in the patents in suit, or in anything else in the patents that is not directed to the disallowed "obscures a view" claims, suggests any other meaning for the word "obscures" -- adding the words "from at least one viewpoint" to the claim language goes well beyond anything claimed by the inventor in the claims here under construction. I thus adhere to the construction I put on "obscure/obscures/obscured" in connection with the '821 Patent. The jury will be told that the phrase means "you can't see the wires because the bracket is configured to hide them." (as further set forth herein). This constitutes the decision and order of the Court. It is a written opinion. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 5/5/2022) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:18-cv-05290-CM, 1:19-cv-04693-CM, 1:20-cv-10195-CM BY ECF TO ALL COUNSEL (kv)

August 12, 2021 Opinion or Order Case Stayed. (ate)
August 12, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 57 ORDER denying without prejudice #31 Motion to Dismiss; denying #20 Motion for Preliminary Injunction. I am sua sponte consolidating this case with the two earlier cases and imposing a stay that will last no longer than the end of this calendar year. The motion for a preliminary injunction is denied. The motion to dismiss Lutron's counterclaim is also denied, albeit without prejudice to renewal once the stay of these cases expires. However, the odds that the Court is going to grant the motion to dismiss any of the affirmative defenses are slim; it appears to me that this case is going to be litigated on the merits. If I were GeigTech, I would not waste my client's money on such a motion. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to consolidate this case with Case No. 18-cv-5290, and to remove the motions at Dkt. Nos. 20 and 31 from the Court's list of open motions. If PTAB issues a decision on the '717 patent prior to December 31, 2021, the parties should inform the Court and I will set a schedule for briefing any remaining claim construction issues. If PTAB does not issue its decision on the '717 patent by that date, the stay will expire, and the Court will set a briefing schedule. This is the decision and order of the court. It is a written decision. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 8/12/2021) (ate) Modified on 8/24/2021 (ate).
