Russ August & Kabat won a reversal of a patent claim construction ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for client HBAC Matchmaker Media against Google, Yahoo, and several major media companies. The case was argued by Russ August & Kabat attorney Brian D. Ledahl. The appeal involved a claim construction ruling requested by Google and other defendants in the district court. The Federal Circuit reversed that ruling and adopted the claim construction advocated by Russ August & Kabat in the case. See Opinion.
