Media Rights Technologies v. Capital One Financial Corp, No. 14-1218 (Fed. Cir. Sept. 4, 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.

Media Rights Technologies, Inc. (“Media Rights”) ap- peals the district court’s decision to grant judgment on the pleadings that all claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,316,033 (the “’033 Patent”) are invalid for indefiniteness. Because the trial court correctly determined that the term “compliance mechanism,” which is a limitation in every single claim, is a means -plus-function term that lacks sufficient stru c- ture, we affirm.
