Golden Bridge Technology, Inc. v. Nokia, Inc.

The Federal Circuit affirmed a decision of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas granting summary judgment that claims of a patent assigned to the plaintiff-appellant describing a mobile communication system were invalid as anticipated by two references in the prior art. The court agreed with the district court's finding with respect to the first prior art reference, rejecting a factual argument made by the plaintiff concerning the content of the prior art reference that had not previously been made to the district court. Having affirmed the district court's ruling with respect to the first prior art reference, the court did not address invalidation based upon the second reference.

Before MICHEL, Chief Judge, NEWMAN and MOORE, Circuit Judges.

Plaintiff-Appellant, Golden Bridge Technology, Inc. (Golden Bridge) appeals the decision of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas granting summary judgment that claims 13 and 23 of U.S. Patent No. 6,574,267 (’267 patent), which is assigned to Golden Bridge, are anticipated by PCT Publication No. WO9746041 to Häkkinen et al. (Häkkinen) and a May 1995 version of a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) standard called “Mobile Station-Base Station Compatibility Standard for Dual-Mode Wideband Spread Spectrum Cellular System,” TIA/EIA/IS-95A (IS-95A). We affirm the judgment of the district court that claims 13 and 23 are anticipated by the Häkkinen reference. Because we affirm the district court judgment of invalidity on the basis of the Häkkinen reference, we do not address the invalidation based upon the IS-95A reference.
