Applications in Internet Time, LLC v. Salesforce, Inc., decided 10 Oct 24

In this patent infringement lawsuit, the court reviewed the district court's grant of summary judgment to Salesforce, focusing on claim construction of "automatically detecting" and determinations of non-infringement, invalidity due to anticipation and obviousness, and exceptional case status. The CAFC modified the claim construction, vacated the summary judgments, reversed the exceptional case finding, and remanded the case for further proceedings, awarding costs to Applications in Internet Time, LLC. The core dispute centered on whether the claimed invention required "intelligent agents" and whether the prior art anticipated the claimed invention.
