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.

Tenstreet appeals the Southern District of Indiana’s determination that its patented method of using peer -to- peer networking to verify employment history is directed to patent-ineligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Because the district court correctly de termined that the claims of the patent-in-suit are directed to an abstract idea and lack an inventive concept, we affirm. I For motions to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Fed- eral Rules of Civil Procedure, we apply the law of the re- gional circuit. Bascom Glob. Internet Servs., Inc. v.
