By Memorandum Order entered by The Honorable Sue L. Robinson in Cox Communications Inc., et al. v. Sprint Communications L.P., et al., Civil Action No. 12-487-SLR (D.Del., May 15, 2015), the Court granted plaintiffs' for partial summary judgment upon concluding that the limitation "processing system" contained in the claims of the patents-in-suit is indefinite under 35 U.S.C. § 112. In reaching its conclusion, the Court found that "the claim language and the specification do not provide structural limitations for the 'processing system' and do not inform those skilled in the art about the scope of the invention with reasonable certainty." Id. at 11.
