PPG begins with the premise that a patentee is entitled to have the meaning and scope of its patent determined as a matter of law.
PPG further argues that even if the jury was correctly delegated the task of deciding whether iron sulfide in SMG glass materially affects the properties of the glass, the definition of “consisting essentially of” given to the jury should have reflected information in the patent specification concerning what effects the inventors considered to be material.
