Federal Circuit Upholds Alice Invalidation of Messaging Patent Asserted Against Wireless Carriers

September 30, 2016

In a per curiam order issued on September 23 without an accompanying opinion (2015-2012), the court upheld a September 2015 grant of judgment on the pleadings by District Judge Richard Andrews, who had found that the ‘034 patent was directed to the abstract idea of “translation”, and lacked a sufficient inventive concept to convey patentability.
