SME Steel Contractors, Inc. v. Seismic Bracing Company, LLC, decided July 23, 2025
This nonprecedential United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit opinion details the affirmation of a district court's summary judgment in favor of Seismic Bracing Co., LLC and Andrew Hinchman against SME Steel Contractors, Inc. and Core-Brace, LLC. The case involved multiple claims brought by SME Steel, including patent infringement related to buckling-restrained braces (BRBs), false advertising and false association under the Lanham Act, and copyright infringement concerning technical drawings. The appeals court upheld the lower court's finding that Seismic Bracing's BRBs did not infringe the patent due to the absence of a required "air gap," and that SME Steel failed to establish causal connection for injury in its Lanham Act claims or nexus for profits in its copyright claim, ultimately affirming the summary judgment on all challenged aspects.

Colibri Heart Valve LLC v. Medtronic CoreValve, LLC, decided July 18, 2025
The core of the dispute revolves around U.S. Patent No. 8,900,294, owned by Colibri, which describes a method for implanting artificial heart valves with a "do-over" or recapture mechanism. Colibri accused Medtronic of inducing infringement of this patent through the use of Medtronic's "Evolut" heart valve products. The court ultimately reversed a lower court's decision, ruling that prosecution history estoppel prevented Colibri from asserting infringement under the doctrine of equivalents due to the cancellation of a related claim during the patent's prosecution.

Top Brand LLC v. Cozy Comfort Company LLC decided July 17, 2025
This case involves a dispute between Top Brand LLC ("Top Brand") and Cozy Comfort Company LLC ("Cozy Comfort"), competitors in the market for oversized hooded sweatshirts/wearable blankets. Cozy Comfort accused Top Brand of infringing its U.S. Design Patent No. D859,788 (the “D788 patent”) and two trademarks for “THE COMFY.” A jury initially found in favor of Cozy Comfort on both patent and trademark infringement, awarding significant damages. The Federal Circuit reversed the District Court's denial of Judgment as a Matter of Law (JMOL) for Top Brand on both the design patent and trademark infringement claims.
