IBM v. Zillow Group, Inc., No. 21-2350 (Fed. Cir. Oct. 17, 2022)

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.

International Business Machines Corporation sued Zil- low Group, Inc. and Zillow, Inc. for infringement of several patents related to graphical display technology. The dis- trict court granted Zillow’s motion for judgment on the pleadings, concluding that two of the asserted patents claimed ineligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Because we agree that the patents are directed to abstract ideas and lack an inventive concept, we affirm. I IBM owns U.S. Patent No.
