1Opinion of the Court
LAY, Chief Judge.
Smith R.P.M. Corporation (Smith), a Missouri corporation, appeals from the district court’s judgment that construed a settlement agreement between Smith and Press Machinery Corp. (PMC), an Illinois corporation. The court interpreted the settlement agreement as granting PMC a limited license under a patent subsequently issued to Smith. 1 For reversal, Smith argues that the district court erred in considering extrinsic evidence when interpreting the settlement agreement and in applying equitable estoppel to find a limited license for PMC. 2 We affirm.
