Claim construction relating to use of computer systems and method for analyzing medical service codes, including means plus function terms.
McKesson Information Solutions LLC v. The Trizetto Group, Inc., No. 04-1258-SLR, Apr. 5, 2006.
Robinson, J. The Court construes 27 terms, including means-plus-function terms.
The patent describes the use of a computer system and method for analyzing medical service codes submitted on a medical claim to detect and correct errors.
The Court declines to construe a claim as a step-plus-function claim where the limitation contains the words “receiving” “determining,” and “informing” which are construed as acts. The Court construes at least one term based on the specification rather than the parties’ arguments.
