United States Federal Circuit

In an appeal arising from charges of patent and copyright infringement based on a computer-assisted system of administering emergency procedures, primarily CPR, summary judgment and rulings for defendant are affirmed where: 1) the district court properly found that neither the "general purpose computer" and "interactive display input" patent claims were met; 2) the district court properly found that plaintiff's copyrights were not infringed as it was not established that plaintiff's specific computer program, or any original aspects of his display in audio or video, was copied; 3) defendant's system did not infringe a copyright for a script and list of words and phrases, which were standard CPR instructions; and 4) denial of a Rule 60(b) motion was not an abuse of discretion.
