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 appeal is related to the appeal in Affinity Labs of Texas, LLC v. DirecTV et al., No. 2015- 1845, decided today. Although the patents at issue in the two cases are different, they share a similar specification. Because the legal issues presented in the two cases are closely related, our discussion of the governing legal principles in that case will not be repeated here, except to the extent that the difference between the claims in the two cases call s for a somewhat different legal analysis. I The patent in suit, U.S. Patent No.
