Results for vitiating a limitation

Case Number: CLB0105

Date: 08.11.2005

Claims for stowable seat that require use of support member having “movable end” that is “slidably mounted” to seat base are not infringed by accused folding seat that employs moveable end that is rotatably mounted to seat base using revolute joints, since finding of equivalence would vitiate “slidably mounted” limitation.
