Having found that there was evidence from which a fact-finder could conclude that Mycogen was the first to conceive the invention of the ’831 patent, the district court turned to the question whether Mycogen was diligent in attempting to reduce the invention to practice during the critical period.
Mycogen argues on appeal that the district court erred when it concluded for purposes of summary judgment that Monsanto conceived the patented invention by October 1986.
Mycogen’s primary argument is that the statute provides that liability attaches if the importation, offer to sell, sale, or use of the product occurs during the patent term but does not refer to the process itself being performed, or the product being made, during the term of the patent.
