Suffolk Technologies, LLC (“Suffolk”) appeals from the summary judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia holding certain claims of Suffolk’s U.S. Patent No. 6,081,835 (“’835 p a- tent”) invalid. Specifically, t he district court held that claims 1, 7, and 9 were anticipated by a Usenet new s- group post. Suffolk then stipulated that, in light of the district court’s prior art, claim construction, and expert testimony rulings, claim 6 was also anticipated. Upon entry of final judgment, Suffolk appealed.
