"The district court granted summary judgment of noninfringement because it found that 'no reasonable factfinder could find Chewy's website or mobile applications perform the selectively storing limitation recited in the claims.'"
"IBM disagreed with the district court's construction of the limitation but said that even accepting the court's construction there were factual disputes precluding summary judgment."
"The CAFC agreed with the district court with respect to claims 1, 2, 14 and 18 of the '849 patent, holding that the evidence supported the district court's findings."
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a district court ruling that Chewy, Inc. did not infringe several claims of IBM's web advertising patents. The court reversed the noninfringement finding on one claim, remanding for further proceedings. IBM's patents relate to web-based advertising improvements. Chewy sought a declaratory judgment of non-infringement, while IBM counterclaimed for infringement. The district court granted summary judgment of noninfringement for several claims, stating no reasonable factfinder could find Chewy's applications met the selectively storing limitation.
