A Markman hearing is an important pre-trial event in a patent lawsuit wherein the Court analyzes and construes the meaning of disputed patent claim terms after consideration of each party's evidence. A favorable claim construction determination is very important in establishing infringement of an asserted patent. The Company and Micron Technology, Inc., each presented evidence addressing the proper construction of six disputed claim terms in the '108 patent. The Court was also asked to determine if the preamble from Claim 1 of the '108 patent was limiting. After consideration of each party's evidence, the Court issued its claim construction order last Friday, ruling in e.Digital's favor on the contested claim terms, and also finding that the preamble was not limiting.
