United States Federal Circuit

Summary judgment in favor of defendant on plaintiff's claims of infringement of its patents that disclose functionality to a webpage, judgment that certain claims of plaintiff's patent were indefinite, and judgment that plaintiff infringed defendant's patent, are affirmed, where: 1) the district court did not err in finding that defendant's systems that distribute advertisements for display in web pages did not infringe literally or under the doctrine of equivalents based on the "embedded" limitation; 2) the district court correctly concluded that plaintiff's patent was indefinite because the patent does not disclose any algorithm for assembling the second computer readable code module; 3) the district court did not err in concluding that plaintiff infringed defendant's patent directed to retrieving digital content over a computer network using a unique identifier assigned to the content; and 4) claim 7 of defendant's patent is not indefinite.
