NICHOLS, Senior Circuit Judge.
Appellant Bausch & Lomb, Inc. filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging that appellee Bames-Hind/Hydrocurve, Inc. and Barnes-Hind International, Inc. (hereinafter Barnes-Hind) infringed patent No. 4,194,814 (’814 patent) in the manufacture and sale of its laser-marked contact lens. Barnes-Hind denied infringement and counterclaimed that the ’814 patent was invalid, void, and unenforceable. In No. C-83-20283-RPA, Judge Aquilar found the patent invalid for obviousness and not infringed. We vacate and remand.
