Patent eligibility issues in the U.S. have remained relatively quiet, with expectations of change in the future once new leadership is confirmed. In the case of Longitude Licensing Ltd. v. Google LLC, the Federal Circuit dismissed infringement claims under 35 U.S.C. § 101, determining that Longitude's patents for digital image processing did not sufficiently detail how their claims achieved technological improvements. The court found that the claims described merely generic functions without specifying innovative methods to enhance image processing.
Longitude Licensing Ltd. v. Google LLC highlights the ongoing patent eligibility challenges as the Federal Circuit dismisses claims under 35 U.S.C. § 101 for generic, functional limitations.
The patents attempted to cover methods for identifying objects in images but failed to demonstrate the technological advancements needed for patent eligibility under Section 101.
