The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) on Tuesday issued a precedential decision affirming a California district court’s decision to grant Blippar.com’s motion to dismiss a patent infringement claim brought against it because the asserted patent claims were ineligible under Section 101. Mobile Acuity’s U.S. Patent Nos. 10,445,618 (“’618 patent”) and 10,776,658 (“’658 patent”) are both titled “Storing Information for Access Using a Captured Image.” Mobile Acuity filed a complaint in August 2021, a first amended complaint in February 2022 and a second amended complaint following Blippar’s filing of its motion to dismiss the same month
