Twin Peaks Software Inc. v. IBM Corporation, No. 16-2177 (Fed. Cir. May 26, 2017)

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.

Twin Peaks Software Inc. (“Twin Peaks”) appeals from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California that claims 1 and 4 of U.S. Patent 7,418,439 (“the ’439 patent”) are invalid as indefinite following a claim construction order by the district court. See Twin Peaks Software Inc. v. IBM Corp., No. 3:14-cv-03933-JST, 2016 WL 1409748 (N.D. Cal. Apr. 11, 2016) (“Order”). Because the district court did not err in its claim construction or in concluding that the cha l- lenged claims are invalid as indefinite, we affirm.
