ICHL v. Sony

From within the decision by Judge Lourie, on a matter of claim construction:

Instead, the district court’s construction addresses the structural relationship between the claimed elements and excludes from the scope of the claims a specific type of structure— extruded or integrally bonded heat sinks. See Vanguard Prods. Corp. v. Parker Hannifin Corp., 243 F.3d 1370, 1372 (Fed. Cir. 2000) (affirming claim construction of apparatus claim that “describe[d] the relationship between” the claimed elements, not “the means of joining them”).
