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.

Sanderling Management Ltd. (“Sanderling”) appeals from the district court’s dismissal of Sanderling’s patent infringement suit against Snap Inc. (“Snap”) due to the as- serted claims’ lack of patent -eligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101 (“Section 101”). Sanderling also asks us to review the district court’s denial of its motion for leave to amend its complaint. We affirm. I Sanderling owns U.S. Patent Nos. 9,355,412 (the “’412 patent”), 9,639,866 (the “’866 patent”), and 10,108,986 (the “’986 patent”).
