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.

Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. appeals the district court’s decisions that all asserted claims, drawn to technol- ogy for synchronizing data across multiple devices, are ei- ther invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 112, paragraph 2, or not infringed. Defendant Dropbox, Inc. cross-appeals asserting that all claims at issue are patent ineligible subject matter under § 101. For the reasons discussed below, we affirm the district court’s conclusions of invalidity under § 112 and non-infringement and do not reach the question of pa- tent eligibility. B ACKGROUND A.
