Oip Technologies, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc., No. 12-1696 (Fed. Cir. June 11, 2015)

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.

OIP Technologies alleges that Amazon.com infringes a patent that relates to a method of price optimization in an e-commerce enviro nment. The district court granted judgment on the pleading s, concluding that the patent does not claim patentable subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Because we agree with the district court that the patent-in-suit claim s no more than an abstract idea coupled with routine data -gathering steps and conve n- tional computer activity, we affirm.
