Markman decision issues relating to intravenous medical connector valves
ICU Medical, Inc. v. Rymed Technologies, Inc., Civil Action No. 07-468-JJF, December 3, 2009.
Farnan, J. The court issues claim constructions.
Sixteen claims of four patents are in dispute. Several terms have been construed by other courts in prior proceedings concerning this family of patents. Although collateral estoppel does not apply, those constructions are persuasive authority. The court construes 12 terms relating to needleless intravenous medical connector valves.
