1Opinion of the Court
STOLL, Circuit Judge.
MasterMine Software, Inc. appeals from a stipulated judgment of noninfringement and invalidity following adverse claim construction and indefiniteness rulings from the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. Because the district court’s construction is supported by the intrinsic evidence, and the claims do not improperly claim both an apparatus and a method of using the apparatus, we affirm the court’s claim construction, reverse the court’s indefiniteness determination, and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.
