In NTP, the Federal Circuit ruled that the district court erred by broadly construing the claim term “originating processor,” but correctly construed all other terms. The Federal Circuit also affirmed the district court's decision that defendant Research in Motion, Ltd. (“RIM”) infringed NTP's patents under 35 U.S.C. '271(a).
