Is extrinsic evidence necessary to resolve: claim construction disputes?
Article Abstract:
The article discusses the Markman model, the Multiform model, and the AAI model of resolving patent claim construction disputes, and gives cases using each model as examples. The Markman and the multiform models use only the intrinsic record, with linguistic implausibility provides the solution in the Markman model cases. In the AAI model cases, both proffered constructions are linguistically plausible and are consistent with the invention's pruposes, and the narrower one is selected.
