Soverain Software, LLC v. Victoria's Secret Direct Brand Mgmt., LLC Court: U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit Docket: 12-1649 Opinion Date: February 12, 2015 Areas of Law: Internet Law, Patents Soverain Software sued Victoria’s Secret and Avon for infringement of its patents relating to virtual shopping carts and to using a hypertext statement so that users can access information about past orders. The district court found that defendants infringed certain claims and that those claims were not invalid. After the district court’s judgment, the Federal Circuit, in 2013, decided Soverain Software LLC v. Newegg Inc., finding certain of the claims invalid as obvious The Federal Circuit then reversed as to Victoria’s Secret and Avon, holding that issue preclusion applies as a result of the Newegg case, and that the asserted claims here are therefore invalid. http://j.st/4ASH View Case On: Justia Google Scholar
