A federal appeals court has thrown out part of a summary judgment in Google’s favor in a lawsuit filed by Hyperphrase Technologies LLC, according to wire service reports.
Hyperphrase Technologies LLC and Hyperphrase Inc. had filed suit in Wisconsin saying that Google infringed on four patents used to make AutoLink and AdSense. The district court in Wisconsin tossed out the case, granting summary judgment in Google’s favor.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that Google’s AdSense did not infringe on Hyperphrase’s patents. It handed down a split decision on AutoLink, agreeing that Google did not infringe, as claimed, on one of the Hyperphrase patents. But it vacated a summary judgment in Google’s favor on two others and sent it back to the Wisconsin district court.
