The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a district court's ruling that 10Tales, Inc.'s patent claims regarding personalized content based on user information were invalid under Section 101. The case originated from a lawsuit against TikTok and ByteDance, alleging patent infringement. The district court found that the claims were directed to an abstract idea, emphasizing that personalizing content based on user attributes is a fundamental practice not eligible for patent protection.
"The district court concluded that claim 1 is abstract because it is limited to 'presenting personalized content to a user based on information about the user.' This amounts to 'a long-standing and fundamental practice of personalizing content based on user attributes that spans many domains.'"
"The court stated that the claim is 'more generally directed to a system for presenting personalized digital media content to a user based on the user attributes from user social network information.' This indicates a broader interpretation of the claim's scope."
