US Appeals Court Backs Google in Advertising Patent Dispute
Original: CAFC Affirms Section 101 Dismissal for Google Over Internet Advertising Patents
The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has affirmed a lower court's dismissal of internet advertising patents held invalid under Section 101 of the Patent Act, in a case involving Google. The ruling means the patents were found to cover ineligible abstract ideas rather than patentable inventions, dealing a blow to the patent holder.
Why now: The Federal Circuit's decision has direct implications for software and advertising patent eligibility in the US.
