Judge Godbey Issues Claim Construction Order In Shire v. Neos Therapeutics

On March 20, 2014, Judge Godbey issued an Order (available here) construing various terms of the patent in suit in Shire v. Neos Therapeutics. Of particular note is Judge Godbey’s decision not to limit the scope of the patent in suit’s claims based on the prosecution history of a related yet “substantively different patent.”
