Executive Summary
The Northern District of California issued a Markman claim construction order finding two key terms in VirtaMove's asserted patents indefinite, invalidating all asserted claims against Amazon (and Google). The '814 Patent claim 1 term 'disparate computing environments' was found indefinite, and the '762 Patent claim 17 term 'an incompatible computer platform in which the first software application is not intended to execute' was also found indefinite. This eliminates the patent infringement case against Amazon, removing a material litigation risk.
Court Ruling Details
Key Facts
- Court found 'disparate computing environments' in '814 Patent claim 1 indefinite, invalidating claim 1 and dependent claims 2, 4, 6-10, 13-14 against Amazon
- Court found 'an incompatible computer platform in which the first software application is not intended to execute' in '762 Patent claim 17 indefinite, invalidating claim 17 and its dependent claims (the only claims asserted against Amazon)
- Ruling is a final claim construction order; the court set a status conference for October 27, 2026 to discuss next steps, with potential for final judgment
