United States Federal Circuit

In an infringement action involving a patent related to a method of price optimization in an e-commerce environment, the district court's grant of judgment on the pleadings, concluding that the patent does not claim patentable subject matter under 35 U.S.C. section 101, is affirmed where the patent-in-suit claims no more than an abstract idea coupled with routine data-gathering steps and conventional computer activity.
