Suppose an accused product implements all but one of the elements in claim 1:
The invention claimed is:
- A storage system comprising:
a platform containing a plurality of container stacks...;
a handling device configured for pushing a plurality of containers from a stack...
etc.
If the accused product is configured for pulling containers rather than pushing containers, will it mean that it fails to meet the second limitation and thus, no patent infringement took place (assuming the remaining claims depend on claim 1 by "The system of claim 1, ...")? Will the accused product actually be regarded as novel if it pulls?
Thanks
