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.

H-W Technology, L.C., (“H -W”) appeals from an order of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas granting summary judgment in favor of defendant Overstock.com, Inc., (“Overstock”). Specifica l- ly, H-W challenges the district court’s holding that claims 9 and 17 of H -W’s U.S. Patent No. 7,525,955 (“’955 p a- tent”) are invalid. We conclude that the district court correctly held claim 17 invalid but erred to the extent it held corrected claim 9 invalid.
