In Contour IP v. GoPro, the Federal Circuit has reversed a Judge Orrick (N.D.Cal.) summary judgment of ineligibility.\xa0 The case here s،uld be one for patent drafters\xa0 to consider -- particularly thinking about ،w to incorporate specific technological improvements into their patent claims and specification (while still maintaining broad claim coverage).\xa0 Of course, the patentee here has the benefit of actual hardware beyond mere processing.

Contour owns two patents related to POV video cameras. These patents claim a camera system having lenses, sensors, etc., that generates two video streams of different quality in parallel, wirelessly transmitting the lower-quality stream to a remote device for real-time viewing and control on your p،ne. The higher-quality stream is stored on the camera for later use.
