Federal Circuit Sides with Google in Online Advertising Patent Case

The Federal Circuit has sided with Google and YouTube in an online advertising patent case, refusing to revive an infringement suit brought by an advertising management system company.

The decision upholds a California federal judge's ruling that the claims at issue are invalid under the U.S. Supreme Court's Alice precedent.

The case involved allegations of patent infringement against Google and YouTube, but the Federal Circuit agreed with the lower court's finding that the claims were not valid under the relevant legal standard.
