See In re Einstein, 46 F.2d 373, 374 (CCPA 1931) where it was stated that “a mere reversal of the essential working parts of a previously patented device did not constitute invention.” See also In re Gazda, 219 F.2d 449, 452 (CCPA 1955) holding that the reverse operation of moving parts would not amount to invention because the “mere reversal of such movement being an obvious expedient.”

2681 COMMIL USA, LLC, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. CISCO SYSTEMS, INC., Defendant-Appellant. 2012-1042 6,430,395 09/784,109 PROST concurring-in-part, dissenting-in-part NEWMAN concurring-in-part, dissenting-in-part O’MALLEY induced infringement grant of new trial Syles Werbner, P.C.; Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP original MEYERTONS, HOOD, KIVLIN, KOWERT & GOETZEL, P.C. LEGREE, TRACY MICHELLE

We now hold that evidence of an accused inducer’s good-faith belief of invalidity may negate the requisite intent for induced infringement.1 This is, of course, not to say that such evidence precludes a finding of induced infringement. Rather, it is evidence that should be considered by the fact-finder in determining whether an accused party knew “that the induced acts constitute patent infringement.” Global-Tech, 131 S. Ct. at 2068.

1 In dissent, Judge Newman does little more than construct a straw man and set him ablaze. We certainly do not hold “that if the inducer of infringement believes in good faith that the patent is invalid, there can be no liability for induced infringement.” J. Newman Op. concurring-in-part, dissenting-in-part 1. Nor do we “include a belief in patent validity as a criterion of infringement.” Id. at 4.
