On April 2, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit overturned a lower court's decision, finding that the term 'runtime engine' should be interpreted more broadly in the patent infringement case between Express Mobile, Inc. and GoDaddy.com, LLC. The CAFC concluded that the district court had mistakenly restricted the definition to require direct reading from a database. This ruling renews Express Mobile's claims regarding patent infringement concerning website development technologies against GoDaddy, allowing the case to proceed after the lower court had ruled in favor of GoDaddy.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the district court's claim construction, concluding that 'runtime engine' should encompass broader functionality than previously interpreted.
The CAFC found that the district court improperly limited 'runtime engine' to direct interaction with a database, thereby restricting the scope of the patent claims.
