Means Plus Function Terms Indefinite for Lack of Corresponding Structure
Reading Markman orders is often like watching soccer while being an American. Only rarely does someone actually score a goal. This Markman is a good example. Dozens of pages of solid analysis, but it’s only at the top of p. 32 and again a few pages later that goals sneak up on you – when the Court noted that these were means plus function terms, and the lack of corresponding structure rendered the three terms indefinite.
