Posted on November 23, 2015 by Steven Callahan

On November 2, 2015, Judge Kinkeade issued an Order (available here) invalidating two of Global Tel*Link’s patents under the Supreme Court’s recent Alice decision on a motion for judgment on the pleadings filed by Securus. Judge Kinkeade found that both patents were directed toward an abstract idea and that the patents lacked an inventive concept. Accordingly, they were not patent eligible.
