Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit

Decided June 11, 2015No. 2012-1696PublishedCited by 205 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Opinion for the court filed by Circuit Judge HUGHES.

Concurring opinion filed by Circuit Judge MAYER.

HUGHES, Circuit Judge.

OIP Technologies alleges that Amazon.com infringes a patent that relates to a method of price optimization in an e-commerce environment. The district court granted judgment on the pleadings, concluding that the patent does not claim patentable subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Because we agree with the district court that- the patent-in-suit claims no more than an abstract idea coupled with routine data-gathering steps and conventional computer activity, we affirm.
