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.

This appeal arises from a decision of the District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina that U.S. Patent No. 9,839,852, titled “Interactive Guitar Game,” claims pa- tent-ineligible subject matter. Ubisoft contends that the district court “overgeneralized” the asserted claims and that the claims recite specific improvements in computer capabilities. Because the district court’s decision is in tune with our Section 101 jurisprudence, we affirm. BACKGROUND Ubisoft Entertainment, S.A. and Ubisoft, Inc.
