Deere & Company v. AGCO Corp., Precision Planting, LLC, decided 24 Jan 25

Deere & Company appealed a district court's denial of its post-trial motions for judgment as a matter of law (JMOL) and a new trial following a jury verdict finding no patent infringement against AGCO Corporation and Precision Planting, LLC. The dispute centered on Deere's patents for high-speed agricultural planting technology. The Federal Circuit affirmed the lower court's decisions, finding no abuse of discretion in denying the new trial motion and upholding the JMOL denial due to Deere's failure to properly request JMOL before the close of evidence. The court's decision also addressed Deere's arguments concerning evidentiary issues and claim construction, ultimately rejecting Deere's claims of error.
