1Opinion of the Court
Opinion for the court filed by Circuit Judge RADER, Circuit Judge NEWMAN concurs in the result.
RADER, Circuit Judge.
Chromalloy Gas Turbine Corporation (Chromalloy) and J. Michael Teets dispute ownership of an invention called the hot forming process (HFP). Following a bench trial, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida concluded that Teets solely owned the HFP and enjoined Chromalloy from certain uses of the HFP. Because the district court erred in concluding Teets owned the process, this court reverses.
