Miller Mendel Inc. filed a lawsuit against the City of Anna, Texas, alleging infringement of its patent on a software system for managing pre-employment background checks.
The district court ruled that the claims of the '188 patent are ineligible for patent protection under 35 U.S.C. § 101, specifically citing the Alice decision.
The court also determined that the case did not meet the threshold to be classified as exceptional, thus denying the City's request for attorneys' fees.
Miller Mendel's appeal against the district court's judgment will address the ineligibility ruling, while the City is appealing the denial of attorneys' fees.
