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.

Sound View Innovations, LLC owns now -expired U.S. Patent No. 6,708,213, titled “Method for Streaming Multi- media Information over Public Networks.” When Sound View brought the present case against Hulu, LLC, it al- leged infringement of six Sound View patent s, but only claim 16 of the ’213 patent remains at issue. Sound View alleges that Hulu infringed claim 16 by its use of (third party) edge servers, which sit between a central Hulu con- tent server and the video- playing devices of end -user cus- tomers (client s).
