Federal Circuit Denies Realtime Tracker’s Patent Appeal, Upholding RELX Victory in Intellectual Property Case

In a significant decision for intellectual property law, the Federal Circuit has upheld a ruling from a New York federal judge declaring a patent by Realtime Tracker Inc. invalid. The patent, which pertained to the tracking of billable hours, was deemed an abstract idea and therefore not patentable. This decision represents a considerable win for RELX, the parent company of LexisNexis, further solidifying their stance in the legal technology market.
