2007-1369

POWEROASIS, INC. and POWEROASIS NETWORKS, LLC,

Plaintiffs-Appellants, v.

WAYPORT, INC.,

Defendant-Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts in case no. 04-CV-12023, Judge Rya W. Zobel. DECIDED: April 11, 2008 Before NEWMAN, SCHALL, and MOORE, Circuit Judges.

PowerOasis, Inc. and PowerOasis Networks, LLC (PowerOasis) raise a number of claim construction arguments on appeal following the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts’s grant of summary judgment that claims 15, 18, 31, 35, 38, 40, and 49 of U.S. Patents Nos. 6,466,658 (‘658 patent) and 6,721,400 (‘400 patent) are not infringed by Wayport, Inc. We vacate and remand.

We need not discuss the specifics of PowerOasis’s arguments because of our decision in PowerOasis, Inc. v. T-Mobile USA, Inc., No. 2007-1265 (Fed. Cir. Apr. 11, 2008), which holds claims 15, 18, 31, 35, 38, 40, and 49 of the ‘658 and ‘400 patents3 invalid. Accordingly, we vacate the district court's grant of summary judgment of noninfringement and remand with instructions for the district court to enter judgment consistent with our holding that claims 15, 18, 31, 35, 38, 40, and 49 of the ‘658 and ‘400 patents are invalid.
