Defendant U.S. Venture’s cross motion for partial summary judgment [363] is granted in part, insofar as Venture’s systems using Venture’s own software and Technics’ “Not First Pass” software do not infringe claim 1 of the ‘671 patent. The motion is otherwise denied. Defendants' motion to seal certain documents designated as confidential under the terms of the protective order [406] is granted.
