United States Federal Circuit

In an infringement suit involving a patent generally directed to methods, systems, and computer readable media related to the prevention of unauthorized recording of electronic media, the district court's decision to grant judgment on the pleadings that all claims of the patent are invalid for indefiniteness is affirmed where trial court correctly determined that the term "compliance mechanism," which is a limitation in every single claim, is a means-plus-function term that lacks sufficient structure.
