ARCHER, Chief Judge.
Sandvik Aktiebolag (Sandvik) appeals the order of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, No. 3-94-1076, granting summary judgment of noninfringement in favor of defendant E.J. Company (E.J.). The district court held that United States Patent No. 4,222,690 (the ’690 patent) and United States Patent No. 4,381,-162 (the ’162 patent) were not infringed because defendant’s replacement of the carbide tip of the drill constituted a permissible repair. We reverse.
