Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “It is unclear from the record on appeal whether AutoLink meets all of the remaining elements of any of the asserted claims of [the '889 and '321] patents because the “data reference” limitation was the only limitation the district court discussed in its infringement analysis and the only limitation discussed in detail in the parties’ briefing on appeal. We thus cannot determine if AutoLink does not infringe because it does not meet other limitations of the claims. Therefore, we must remand so the district court can evaluate whether AutoLink infringes the asserted claims of the '889 and '321 patents under the correct construction of “data reference.””

2. “After identifying tokens, the processing device (i.e., the user’s computer) does not convert them into the same address format as that used by the database holding the contextually related record (e.g., UPS’s database). Instead AutoLink sends the token to Google’s servers which, like the intermediate computers of the prior art systems, conduct the necessary translation into the address format used by each database. As the district court astutely noted, this translation is necessary because Google does not control the databases and thus cannot dictate (to UPS or CarFax.com, for example) what address formats they must use.”
