Varian wins partial victory in radiation device patent case

Medical device company Varian Medical Systems Inc won a partial victory in a patent fight with the University of Pittsburgh on Thursday, when an appeals court disagreed with a lower court's multimillion-dollar damages award. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the earlier finding that the infringement was willful on one portion of the patent, also called a claim. The appeals court also questioned the district court's reading of a second claim. It vacated the damages award based on that claim and sent it back to the lower court for reconsideration.
