indicating that when impaired unsecured creditors vote against the plan, the bankruptcy court is required to determine whether those creditors would receive no less under the plan than through liquidation of debtor’s assets | affirming district court’s finding that a prior art horn antenna that was in the patent’s applicant’s possession was “disclosed generically in the patent application” and that there was no intent to withhold this information | Court did not err in determining at confirmation that the debtor’s lawsuit had a negligible settlement value for best interest purposes under 1129(a)(7) | “The purpose of an amendment must be taken into account when considering prosecution history estoppel.” | “The determination of what is adequate information is subjective and made on a ease by case basis. This determination is largely within the discretion of the bankruptcy court.” | “[i]t is axiomatic that courts are required to read a statute in light of its puipose” | prosecutor did not abuse his discretion when he charged the defendant with a violation of General Statutes § 53a-148 (a), a class D felony, instead of charging him with a violation of General Statutes § 53a-161 (b), a class A misdemeanor
