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 is a patent infringement case on appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. Appellant Amdocs (Israel) Limited (“Amdocs”) asserted four related patents against Appellees Openet Telecom, Inc. and Openet Telecom Ltd. (collectively “Openet”), seeking damages and injunctions. Amdocs and Openet compete in the market for “data mediation software,” which helps internet service provi d- ers (“ISPs”), such as Verizon and AT&T, track their customer’s network usage and subsequently generate bills.
