Federal Circuit: Fastship, LLC v. US

For purposes of the relevant patent statute, an item is manufactured when it is made to include each limitation of the thing invented and is therefore suitable for use.

As the vessel's hull and waterjets had not yet been assembled for use, there was no littoral infringement.

Court's reading of metric rather than imperial units was neither an impermissible use of extrinsic evidence nor a finding of fact -- merely a clarification.

18 million dollar typo in damages calculation corrected.
