Visual Memory LLC v. Nvidia Corporation, No. 16-2254 (Fed. Cir. Aug. 15, 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.

Visual Memory, LLC appeals the district court’s di s- missal of its patent infringement complaint against NVIDIA Corporation. T he district court held that Visual Memory’s U.S. Patent No. 5,953,740 is drawn to patent - ineligible subject matter , and therefore its complaint failed to state a claim under Federal Rule of Civil Proc e- dure 12(b)(6) . We conclude instead that the ’740 patent claims an improvement to computer memory systems and is not directed to an abstract idea .
