Granted in Part

These are rulings that granted some of the relief sought and denied the rest. Partial dispositions are common in patent litigation because motions typically raise several independent grounds - multiple claims, multiple accused products, or several distinct evidentiary objections - and a court may resolve some without reaching others. The practical effect is to narrow the case rather than end it: an issue leaves the litigation, and what remains proceeds. Reading a partial grant usually requires attention to precisely which claims, products, or theories were disposed of, since the order's operative scope is often narrower than its opening summary suggests.
