Lyft, Inc. v. Quartz Auto Technologies LLC, decided Jun 27, 2025

This nonprecedential opinion from the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit details an appeal by Quartz Auto Technologies LLC against Lyft, Inc. The core issue revolves around the interpretation of specific claim terms in two of Quartz's patents, the ’871 patent concerning remote automobile monitoring and correction, and the ’215 patent on managing information technology (IT) devices. The dispute stems from a prior District Court for the Northern District of California ruling that construed these terms, leading Lyft and Quartz to stipulate to non-infringement based on that construction. Ultimately, the Court of Appeals affirms the lower court's claim constructions, concluding that the disputed terms are limited to automobile-based defects for the ’871 patent and to problems within IT devices for the ’215 patent, thus upholding the non-infringement judgment in favor of Lyft.
