United States Federal Circuit

In an infringement action relating to a method for adding a user selectable function to a hyperlink, denial of Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunctive relief is affirmed. Whereas Google Notebook requires the user to right-click on a hyperlink to display the toolbar, Plaintiff's patented method for permitting user-interaction with hyperlinks is limited to toolbars that are automatically displayed based on the location of the cursor.
