Federal Circuit: Mortgage Grader Inc. v. First Choice Loan Services

Patent, FRCP

Sufficient cause to overwhelm presumption of non-diligence when an element of claim dropped in initial proceedings is revived in final proceedings, given intervening holding from S.Ct.

Consideration of cause does not necessitate inquiry into prejudice.

Claims not patent-eligible, as they are directed at abstract ideas without an inventive concept.

Limited consideration of expert depositions permissible in summary judgment.
