Akamai Technologies Inc.’s patent claims over online content delivery networks against Limelight Networks Inc. were revived by an appeals court.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington ordered a lower court to reconsider whether Limelight infringed the Akamai patent. In a related decision issued today, the court reinstated claims McKesson Corp. made against closely held Epic Systems Corp. on a patent for a method of communication between doctors and their patients.
