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.

In December 2018, Fintiv, Inc. (Fintiv) sued Apple Inc. (Apple) for infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,843,125 (’125 patent) . After construing the claim term “widget” and at first denying Apple’s motion for sum- mary judgment , the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas changed course and granted summary judgment of noninfringement in favor of Apple. Fintiv, Inc. v. Apple Inc., No. 21-CV-896, 2023 WL 4237356 (W.D. Tex. June 21, 2023) (Order). Fintiv appeals. For the reasons explained below, we reverse.
