Patent for one-piece skate quarter held invalid for obviousness.
Bauer sued CCM for patent infringement regarding a one-piece quarter design for skate boots.
The court dismissed the action, holding that Bauer's patent claims for the skate boot were invalid for obviousness.
The court construed the claims restrictively and concluded that a skilled person in the art would have found it obvious to replace a two-piece quarter with a single-piece one.
