In addition, as applied to apparatus claims 1 and 3—6, Appellants' arguments are unpersuasive because "apparatus claims cover what a device is, not what a device does." Toshiba Corp. v. Imation Corp., 681 F.3d 1358, 1369 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (quoting Hewlett-Packard Co. v. Bausch & Lomb, Inc., 909 F.2d 1464, 1469 (Fed. Cir. 1990)).

FEDERAL CIRCUIT  

AFFIRMED-IN-PART
Tech Center 2100 Computer Architecture and Software
2182 2306 CONVOLVE, INC. AND MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. COMPAQ COMPUTER CORPORATION, Defendant-Appellee, AND SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY, LLC AND SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY, INC., Defendant-Appellee. 2012-1074 6,314,473 09/262,781 4,916,635 07/243,315 O’MALLEY summary judgment (no induced infringement) 112(1) trade secret Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner LLP; Bartlit Beck Herman Palenchar & Scott LLP original OBLON, SPIVAK, MCCLELLAND MAIER & NEUSTADT, L.L.P.; CHOATE, HALL & STEWART LLP CAO, CHUN; MACDONALD, ALLEN R  

As we recently confirmed, when an alleged infringer “instructs users to use a product in an infringing way, there is sufficient evidence for a jury to find direct infringement.” Toshiba Corp. v. Imation Corp., 681 F.3d 1358, 1366 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (citing Lucent Tech., 580 F.3d at 1318). While a very close call, we find that Convolve presented enough evidence to preclude summary judgment on its inducement claims.
