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 Coca -Cola Compan y moved for judgment on the pleadings that Automated Tracking Solutions, LLC’s (“ATS’s”) asserted claims are not directed to patent - eligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101 (2012). The district court granted Coca -Cola’s motion and ATS a p- peals. Given the specific facts in the record before us, including the patentee’s admissions, we affirm the district court’s judgment of ineligibility. BACKGROUND Dr. Fred H.
