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.

McRO, Inc., d/b/a Planet Blue (McRO ) brought this case against more than a dozen video game developers (the Developers), alleging that the Developers infringed three MCRO, INC. v. BANDAI NAMCO GAMES AMERICA 3 method claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,611,278, owned by McRO. The district court held the claims invalid for ineli- gibility under 35 U.S.C. § 101, but we reversed that holding in McRO, Inc. v. Bandai Namco Games America Inc., 837 F.3d 1299 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (McRO I).
