From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

This case was returned to us by the United States Su- preme Court, noting “the possibility that [we] erred by too narrowly circumscribing the scope of § 271(a)” and su g- gesting that we “will have the opportunity to revisit the § 271(a) question . . . .” Limelight Networks, Inc. v. Ak a- mai Techs., Inc. , 134 S. Ct. 2111, 2119, 2120 (2014). We hereby avail ourselves of that opportunity. Sitting en banc, we unanimously set forth the law of divided infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a).
