United States Federal Circuit
Research Corp. Technologies, Inc. v. Microsoft Corp., 10-1037
In a suit against Microsoft Corporation for infringement of patents related to digital image halftoning, district court's judgment in favor of Microsoft is affirmed in part, reversed in part and remanded where: 1) because the '310 and '228 patents claim patent-eligible subject matter, district court's holding that certain claims of the '772 and '305 patents were not entitled to claim the benefit of earlier filed applications that led to the '310 and '228 patents is reversed; 2) district court's effective date ruling is reversed as claim 29 of the '305 patent deserves the earlier filing date; and 3) district court's decision that claims 4 and 63 of the '772 patent are not entitled to the earlier effective filing date is affirmed.
