CAFC in Shire v. Watson: business as usual in claim construction after Teva



The key line:


Because this case does not involve
factual findings to which we owe deference under
Teva, we again reverse the district court’s constructions of
the disputed claim terms and subsequent findings of
infringement, and remand for further proceedings

CAFC mentions Teva v. Sandoz in affirming ED Texas in Fenner v. Cellco



In affirming ED Texas in Fenner v. Cellco, the CAFC shows that Teva v. Sandoz is not going to be a large obstacle in claim construction review. The CAFC will find the intrinsic evidence sufficient for construction in many cases.

Will it be "Bedtime for Bonzo" in the Gevo case, withe the CAFC reaching the same conclusion
post-Teva as pre-Teva?
