Two heated patent cases involving a surgical endoscopic cutting device are pending before Judge Zobel on slightly different schedules. In five pages Judge Zobel ruled on five dispositive motions and one motion for claim construction across both the cases. After reviewing the “voluminous submissions”, as she commonly does, she denied the dispositive motions and handed down constructions with little fanfare. For those who practice before Judge Zobel, I commend you to the final line of her order: “The court anticipates no further dispositive motions by either party.”
