The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) today issued a precedential opinion reversing a district court’s invalidation of patent claims challenged by GoPro, Inc. as patent ineligible. The CAFC said the district court erred in concluding at Alice step one that the claims were directed to an abstract idea and distinguished the case from its precedent in Yu v. Apple and ChargePoint v. SemaConnect. The opinion was authored by Judge Reyna.
