DDR Holdings, LLC v. Priceline.com LLC, No. 23-1176 (Fed. Cir. Dec. 9, 2024)

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.

DDR Holdings, LLC (DDR) appeals a final judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware of non-infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,818,399 (’399 patent) for Priceline.com LLC and Booking.com B.V. (collectively, Priceline.com or Appellees). DDR alleges that the district court erred in construing the claim term “merchants” to be limited to purveyors of goods alone, rather than purveyors of goods and services.
