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.

Global Connect, L.L.C. and T C N, Inc. (collectively, the Defendants) appeal from a jury verdict finding they infringed U.S. Patent Nos. 8,135,122 and 8,565,399. Because the district court erred in its claim construction , we reverse and remand. I NobelBiz sued the Defendants in the Eastern District of Texas alleging infringement of the ’122 and ’399 p a- tents. Both patents are titled “System and method for modifying communication information (MCI)” and have identical specifications. J.A. 382, 391.
