  COOPER CAMERON CORPORATION v. KVAERNER OILFIELD PRODUCTS, INC
We agree with Kvaerner that the district court did not err in granting summary judgment of noninfringement of claim 10 of the ’707 patent under the doctrine of equivalents.
We are not persuaded by Kvaerner’s arguments, relying on Gentry, that it is essential to the invention for the workover port to enter the assembly “between the two plugs” and that claims reciting a location other than “between the two plugs” are therefore invalid for inadequate description.
We are also not persuaded by Kvaerner’s arguments that the claims are invalid for inadequate description because the specification does not indicate that the workover port may be claimed by reference to the position of the tubing hanger and BOP bore.

 CNN.com - Kvaerner avoids collapse - Nov. 26, 2001
Kvaerner, whose market capitalisation has plunged to about 1.3 billion crowns,  desperately needs a longer-term bailout to overcome losses and huge debts that have already forced it to shrink from a peak of more than 80,000 employees in the late 1990s.
She said that Kvaerner had accepted for the first time that a Kvaerner-Aker merger was a possibility.
But she said Kvaerner's board, fearing that it might be forced to sell itself at too low a price, was insisting on an independent assessment of the two groups' values.

Kvaerner, the 148-year-old company, which has about 35,000 employees in 35 countries, had said it could face bankruptcy this week unless it agreed a bailout with Aker.

Kvaerner and Aker have asked the Oslo Stock Exchange to suspend trading of its shares until a more detailed proposal has been presented, which is set for 1100 GMT at the Aker offices in Oslo.

 Law.com: Insurers Obligated to Defend in Asbestos Claims
In his Aug. 19 decision to grant a Kvaerner motion for summary judgment, Sheppard also ruled that although Kvaerner should be allowed to follow through with running the defense against the pending claims against it, One Beacon and co-defendant Century Indemnity Co. should be permitted to control the defense against claims brought in the future.
Sheppard agreed with Kvaerner that its interpretation of the policies' language conforms to industry standards and denied a defense motion for summary judgment as to the scope of the duty to defend.
Russell, who was counsel for Kvaerner, said that last week, Sheppard amended his order in the matter to include language that allows the company to seek prejudgment interest on amounts it has spent in conjunction with its recent legal costs.

Recently, Kvaerner relied on an SLS system located at the Oslo School of Architecture in Norway to create a testable DuraForm® PA prototype of what it hoped would be a more efficient pump design.
Kvaerner reviewed several solid imaging technologies and selected the SLS process for its ability to produce prototypes that can withstand harsh test conditions.
“Kvaerner had heard about the good mechanical properties of the DuraForm prototypes produced on our SLS system and asked us to create two parts: the rotor itself and the stationary part of the pump, the so-called diffuser ring,” recalls Killi.

 Kvaerner (Freedom to provide services) [2001] EUECJ C-191/99 (14 June 2001)
Kvaerner pays the premiums relating to those contracts directly to the insurancecompany and passes on to the insured undertakings the share of the total corresponding to the operating risks of each of them.
Kvaerner and the United Kingdom Government consider that the Directive precludes the levying of Netherlands insurance tax on Kvaerner for the premiums which it paid in the United Kingdom to cover the business risks of John Brown BV and which the latter reimbursed to Kvaerner through John Brown plc.
Kvaerner considers that, since Article 2(d) uses the term 'establishment of the policy-holder only where the policy-holder is a legal person, the policy-holder's establishment cannot be interpreted as also covering all subsidiaries, which are wholly separate legal persons.

If Kvaerner were to exercise this escape clause, the sole remedy available to PSDC and the Governmental Parties under the Master Agreement was termination of the Master Agreement and the leases and repossession of the Shipyard.
