Core Wireless Licensing, S.A.R.L. v. LG Electronics, Inc.

by
The 476 and 020 patents disclose improved display interfaces, particularly for electronic devices with small screens like mobile telephones to allow a user to more quickly access desired data stored in, and functions of applications included in, the electronic devices, by use of an application summary window displaying “a limited list of common functions and commonly accessed stored data which itself can be reached directly from the main menu listing some or all applications.” The Federal Circuit affirmed the district court in rejecting arguments that certain claims were directed to patent ineligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. 101; that prior art anticipated the asserted claims under 35 U.S.C. 102; and that the claims are not infringed. The asserted claims are directed to an improved user interface for computing devices, not to the abstract idea of an index. The claim language, specification, and prosecution history all support the district court’s construction of “un-launched state” as “not displayed.” Substantial evidence supports the jury’s verdict of infringement based on the “reached directly from the [main] menu” claim limitation.
