Federal Circuit Upholds Ruling for Google in Patent Dispute
Original: CAFC Affirms Section 101 Dismissal for Google Over Internet Advertising Patents
The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has affirmed a lower court's dismissal of patents covering internet advertising technology owned by a party challenging Google. The court found the claims ineligible under Section 101 of the Patent Act, which governs whether inventions are patentable subject matter. The decision is being closely watched by intellectual property practitioners, as it adds to the line of Federal Circuit rulings limiting software and business-method patents in the digital advertising space.
Why now: The Federal Circuit ruling reinforces limits on software and advertising-related patents, a concern for patent holders and tech companies alike.
