Before MICHEL, BRYSON, and GAJARSA, Circuit Judges.


GAJARSA, Circuit Judge.

Life Technologies, Inc. ("LTI") appeals the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, entered after a bench trial, in which the court held that LTI's U.S. Patents Nos. 5,244,797 ("the '797 patent") and 5,668,005 ("the '005 patent") were unenforceable on the ground of inequitable conduct. Because the court premised this determination on clearly erroneous findings of fact, we reverse and remand.
