Med. Instrumentation & Diagnostics Corp. v. Elekta AB
The CAFC stated that the correct inquiry is to look at the disclosure of the
patent and determine if one of skill in the art would have understood that
disclosure to encompass software for digital-to-digital conversion and been
able to implement such a program, not simply whether one of skill in the art
would have been able to write such a software program. Judge Newman
dissented to this, stating that it suffices if one of skill in the art
"would have been able to write" a standard program of digital-to-digital
conversion.
