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.

The CQG companies appeal the decision of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois , holding that the asserted claims of U .S. Patent s No. 6,772,132 (“the ’132 patent”) and No. 6,766,304 (“the ’304 patent”) recite patent -eligible subject matter in terms of 35 U.S.C. § 101. This appeal relates only to eligibility under Section 101. We affirm the district court’s decision. DISCUSSION Patent owner Trading Technologies International, Inc. (“TTI”) charged CQG with infringement of the ’132 patent and the ’304 patent.
