Yanbin Yu and Zhongxuan Zhang ( collectively, “Yu”) sued Apple and Samsung ( collectively, “Defendants”), * Circuit Judge Sharon Prost vacated the position of Chief Judge on May 21, 2021. YU v. APPLE INC. 3 alleging that Defendants infringed claims 1, 2, and 4 of U.S. Patent No. 6,611,289 (“the ’289 patent”). The district court granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss on the basis that the asserted claims were invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Yu appeals. Because the district court did not err, we affirm.
