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 district court in this case entered summary judgment that Sports Tutor, Inc., infringes two of ProBat- ter Sports, LLC’s , patents relating to pitching machines. Sports Tutor appeals the district court’s determination that those patents were not invalid as obvious. Because Sports Tutor did not meet its burden of establishing obviousness before the district court, we affirm. B ACKGROUND ProBatter and Sports Tutor both sell programmable pitching machin es meant to simulate real- life pitching situations.
