The technology at issue involves systems and methods for enabling a user to complete a retail transaction over the Internet via a combination and Internet kiosk. Before considering the parties’ competing motions on invalidity and infringement, the Court construes certain disputed terms. The Court finds that defendants' products do not infringe the asserted claims of the patents-in-suit under the court's claim construction. In addition, claim 1 of the '457 patent is invalid for indefiniteness, as are the asserted claims that are dependent on it. Therefore, defendants' motion for summary judgment of noninfringement is granted, defendants' motion for summary judgment of invalidity is granted in part, plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment of validity is granted in part, and plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment of infringement is denied.
