Markman rulings issue relating to electronic storage and management
Leader Technologies, Inc. v. Facebook, Inc., Civil Action No.08-862-JJF, March 9, 2010.
Farnan, J. The court construes eight terms in patent entitled “Dynamic Association of Electronically Stored Information With Iterative Workflow Changes.”
The patent-in-suit specifically relates to the management and storage of electronic information, and specifically to new structures and methods for creating relationships between users, applications, files and folders. Plaintiff contends the patent discloses a system which automatically captures environmental and tracking information on a document uploaded by a user, so that others can access a document from a central depository without knowing the document’s exact location. Defendant contends that the patent discloses a system where data is automatically tethered to the user, so that when the user moves to a new location, the data is available in the new location.
