From Westlaw's E-Lert Newsletter: "A Markman order is a pretrial order in which the federal district court construes the meaning of key words in patent claims. A Markman order might construe claims from multiple patents at once."
In the MARKMAN-ORDERS database "you can retrieve documents and patent file history from the underlying patents by clicking the appropriate links on the Links tab. (Note: These links do not appear when you retrieve a Markman order from the DCT database.) If you are viewing a patent that had been the subject of a Markman order, you can retrieve the Markman order by clicking the appropriate link at the KeyCite® history or Graphical KeyCite display."
