It also features a flush-mounted front battery and a charger, and it charges in approximately 4 hours and runs for about 20 miles. This bike has 6 different speeds and an LED display which makes it easy to read and change speeds. The parties disagree as to whether the Court should provide a verbal construction of the claimed design at all, or should instead advert to the pictorial representation thereof as shown in figures one through seven of each patent. Defendant argues for a verbal construction but plaintiff contends that illustrations will suffice. The ‘842 and ’642 patents are both design patents which pertain to bicycles and, in particular, the ornamental design of two bicycles. The patents claim the design shown in their respective figures one through seven.

Now, it’s entering the world of urban commuting with the Ultra 40. The Hyper E-Ride City electric bike is commonly referred to as the electric bike from Walmart, as it sold almost exclusively at Walmart locations. The bikes battery lacks range, as the battery can only run for up to 20 miles or 1 hour. The E-Ride City scored a 26 on our Tower ebike score giving it a “non recommended ebike” rating.
After parting ways with longtime bike sponsor Felt earlier this week, Scotty Cranmer announced on Saturday that he was joining New Jersey based brand hyper mountain bike. In analyzing a patent infringement action, the Court must 1) determine the meaning and scope of the patent claims asserted to be infringed and 2) compare the properly construed claims to the infringing device. Markman v. Westview Instruments, Inc., 52 F.3d 967, 976 (Fed. Cir. 1995) (en banc), aff’d, 517 U.S. 370, 116 S.Ct. The first step, known as claim construction, is an issue of law for the court to decide.
At an affordable price, it’s equipped with a powerful electric pedal-assist motor and a 26-inch mountain bike frame. This cutting-edge equipment provides a great way for riders to travel faster, farther, and more comfortably than ever before. From a bike of this range, the models are really correct for their price.In the general mind, affordable bikes found at Walmart are synonymous with poor quality at low prices, but here I honestly think we are facing an underrated brand. For example, their $600 electric mountain bike may be surprising but it turns out to be efficient and promising.Once again, as in many other cases, you have to identify your needs before buying. Here you have a brand offering honestly priced bikes that will satisfy beginners who want to start.Their BMX bikes, which are at the origin of the company, are of superior quality. Good components, efficient and with a good longevity, perfect bikes for their price.
Consequently, the preferable course for a district court ordinarily will be not to attempt to “construe” a design patent by providing a detailed verbal description of the claimed design. Defendant rejoins that a verbal construction of claims explicitly excluding functional elements, as it has proposed, is more appropriate. It observes that the Federal Circuit in Egyptian Goddess stated that it may be helpful for the court to point out various features of the claimed design as they relate to the accused design and the prior art. 543 F.3d at 680. It then cites Lanard Toys, Ltd. v. Dolgencorp, LLC, a case in which the Federal Circuit, reviewing the verbal construction of a design patent, approvingly concluded that the lower court had followed the Egyptian Goddess standard “to a tee”. Defendant submits that Lanard controls the present case, or at least provides more authoritative guidance than DePaoli and Reddy. The element-by-element approach to claim construction proposed by defendant, while perhaps not specifically proscribed, invites the kind of myopic, restrictive approach to the infringement analysis which the Federal Circuit has found to be “untethered from the ordinary observer inquiry” and therefore error.
Hyper also produces low-end replica signature bikes for Spinner and Robinson which retail for under $150 and are available at Walmart. This case arises out of the alleged infringement by the defendant Hyper Bicycles (“Hyper” or “the defendant”) of two design patents held by the plaintiff, Fa-Hsing Lu (“the plaintiff”). On October 20, 2021, the Court held a Markman hearing with respect to the claim construction to be applied to the design patents.
