1Opinion of the Court
REYNA, Circuit Judge.
ReeogniCorp sued Nintendo for patent infringement. The district court found that RecogniCorp’s patent claims ineligible subject matter and, based on that finding, granted Nintendo’s motion for judgment on the pleadings. ReeogniCorp appeals. The patent’s claims are directed to the abstract idea of encoding and decoding image data, and the claims do not contain an inventive concept sufficient to render the patent eligible. Therefore, we affirm.
