The Federal Circuit affirmed the grant of summary judgment of
noninfringement from the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Michigan for two patents related to a hidden
storage compartment in the side of the bed of a pickup truck.
Reviewing the claim construction de novo and relying only
on intrinsic evidence, the Federal Circuit concluded that the
district court properly construed the disputed claim limitations.
In view of that construction, the district court determined that no
reasonable juror could find that the accused trucks met certain
external appearance claim limitations. The Federal Circuit
affirmed.
