Case 2:10-cv-02225-VBF -JC Document 87 Filed 06/10/11 Page 4 of 5 Page ID #:1649To establish infringement, a patentee “must present proof that theaccused product meets each and every claim limitation.” Forest Labs.,Inc. v. Abbott Labs., 239 F.3d 1305, 1310 (Fed. Cir. 2001). If even onelimitation is missing, there can be no infringement. See Kraft Foods,Inc. v. Int’l Trading Co., 203 F.3d 1362, 1370 (Fed. Cir. 2000).There is a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the turretremains stationary because the turret is heavier than the manifold, whichis a limitation of claims 1 and 11. The final element of claim 1 states:“wherein said turret is of heavier weight than the weight of saidmanifold, such that said turret remains in a stationary position uponsaid manifold in any particular relative rotation between said turret andsaid manifold.” Patent, col. 6, lines 53-57. The final element of claim11 states: “the turret being of heavier weight than that of the manifoldso that both turret and manifold remain stationary relative to oneanother after relative rotation between them has taken place tocommunicate one of the magazines with the manifold’s chamber.” Patent,col. 7, lines 36-40.The plain meaning of such claims is that the turret remainsstationary because the turret is heavier than the manifold. Dkt. #50 at5-6. Defendants allege that “the mechanical interference of the ballwith a small bottom opening in the turret is the sole reason that theturret in Defendants’ accused pipe maintains a stationary position,contrary to the final element of claims 1 and 11 of the ‘936 Patent.”Mot. at 9; dkt. #39, Exh. C; Teran Decl, Exh. B; SUF 51. Defendantsfurther state, “it is true, as Plaintiff claims, that the turret inDefendants’ accused pipe is heavier than its manifold. However, this isstrictly a coincidence and has nothing to do with how the turret ismaintained in a stationary position. [] The turret in Defendants’ accusedpipe is not maintained stationary because the weight of the turret isheavier than the manifold as required by the ‘936 Patent.” Mot. at 10;dkt. #39, Exh. C; Teran Decl, Exh. B; SUF 51. In opposition, Plaintiffasserts, “As long as the turret is heavier than the manifold and theturret remains stationary, additional mechanical features do [not] avoidinfringement.” Opp. at 11; dkt. #50 at 5-6; GMF 53.This Court has interpreted the plain language of claims 1 and 11 torequire that “the turret shall remain stationary because the turret isheavier than the manifold.” Dkt. #50 at 5-6. Defendants assert that, incontrast, the turret in Defendants’ accused pipe remains stationarybecause of the mechanical use of a spring, ball, and bottom opening inthe turret. Mot. at 14. However, Defendants have not sufficiently shownthat there is an absence of evidence to support Plaintiff’s case on theissue of whether the turret remains stationary because the turret isMINUTES FORM 90 Initials of Deputy Clerk jreCIVIL - GEN-4--A240-

Ed. 2d 265 (1986); see also Musick v.Burke, 913 F.2d 1390, 1394 (9th Cir. 1990). See Anderson v. LibertyLobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 256, 106 S. Ct. 2505, 2514, 91 L. Ed. 2d 202(1986); see also Opp. at 11; dkt. #50 at 5-6; GMF 53. Because areasonable jury could find that the claim limitation is found in theaccused device, the Court DENIES Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgmentof Non-Infringement (dkt. #59).
