The case In re TLI Communications LLC Patent Litigation (Fed. Cir. 2016) is the first Federal Circuit case since Enfish relating to the interpretation of the Alice/Mayo test under 35 U.S.C. §101. Unlike Enfish, the claims in TLI were found to be abstract and directed to generalized steps performed on a computer using conventional computer activity. In particular, TLI’s claims were found to be directed to the abstract idea of “taking, organizing, classifying, and storing photographs.”
