Timothy J. Corrigan
How Judge Corrigan decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Applies the Alice/Mayo framework to patent-eligibility challenges, invalidating claims drawn to an abstract idea implemented on generic computers that add no inventive concept.
“Defendant Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.'s Motion for Summary Judgment of Invalidity (Doc. 124) is GRANTED in part and MOOT in part.”
Procedural preferences
Exercises doctrinal restraint on questions of first impression, certifying a controlling question for interlocutory appeal rather than deciding it on policy grounds.
“Defendants' Dispositive Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 47) is DENIED.”
Cautions
Declines to extend a state-law doctrine that a federal court sitting in diversity should leave to the legislature or the state supreme court, denying summary judgment premised on such an extension.
“Defendant United Parcel Service, Inc.'s Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 45) is DENIED.”
