(January 23, 2018, 12:22 PM EST) -- WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Federal Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Jan. 19 rejected assertions by a patent defendant that a Texas federal judge erred in ordering jurors to take back their invalidity holding, while also rejecting claims by the patent owner that the same judge erred in granting a summary judgment of noninfringement of another patent before trial (Flexuspine Inc. v. Globus Medical Inc., No. 17-1188, Fed. Cir., 2018 U.S. App. LEXIS 1280)....
