Geoscope Technologies Pte. Ltd. v. Google LLC & Apple Inc., decided May 2, 2025

Geoscope alleged that Google and Apple infringed on several of its patents related to determining the location of mobile devices. The district court had found the patents were directed to patent ineligible subject matter as abstract ideas. The Federal Circuit affirms the district court's decision, concluding that the patent claims, while describing comparing data from known and unknown locations to determine location, lack an inventive concept beyond the abstract idea of collecting, organizing, and analyzing data using existing technology. The court found the claims relied on generic functional language and did not specify novel techniques or technology for improving geolocation.
