TQ Delta, LLC, 928 F.3d 1359, 1362 (Fed. Cir. 2019).

    20 Civ. 3951 (LGS) (S.D.N.Y. Jul. 6, 2021)

Medrad, Inc., 358 F.3d 898, 904 (Fed. Cir. 2004); accord Cisco Sys., Inc. v. TQ Delta, LLC, 928 F.3d 1359, 1364 (Fed. Cir. 2019).

  10. Specialist v. Next Gen Mfg. Inc.

    Case No. 18 C 7013 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 9, 2021)

    But "it is improper to read limitations from a preferred embodiment described in the specification . . . into the claims absent a clear indication in the intrinsic record that the patentee intended the claims to be so limited." Cisco Sys., Inc. v. TQ Delta, LLC, 928 F.3d 1359, 1364 (Fed. Cir. 2019) (quoting Leibel-Flarsheim Co. v. Medrad, Inc., 358 F.3d 898, 913 (Fed. Cir. 2004)). Because the drawings typically describe a preferred embodiment, they do not by themselves trump other intrinsic evidence.
