*** START ***Realtime argues that “the disclosed inventions . . . provide specific,
unconventional technological solutions that improve computer functionality
and overcome problems specifically arising in the realm of compression ofdigital computer data.” Appellant’s Br. 63. But this “amounts to no morethan a restatement of the assertion that the desired results are an advance.”
Am. Axle & Mfg., 967 F.3d at 1299. As explained above, the claims here
merely claim a result and are thus directed to ineligible subject matter.

“‘[A] claimed invention’s use of the ineligible concept to which it is directedcannot supply the inventive concept’ required to cross the line into eligibility.”
Id. (quoting BSG Tech, 899 F.3d at 1290).
As for the specific patents, Realtime contends that the claims of thefamily 1 patents “require specific, unconventional combinations of speciallyconfigured computer elements,” like using content dependent and content
independent data compression, encoders, and processors. Appellant’s Br. 60–
61. The common specification of the family 1 patents, however, does not
purport to require the use of any special processor. See, e.g., ’728 patent at
6:32– 37 (“[T]he system modules described herein arepreferably

implemented in software as an application program that is executable by,e.g., a general purpose computer or any machine or device having any
suitable and preferred microprocessor architecture.”). The same goes for the“encoders.” See, e.g., id. at 7:13–17 (****)); id. at 6:30–32 (****). And thecommon specification explains that data can be analyzed “using methods
known by those skilled in the art to extract the data compression typedescriptor associated with the data block,” id. at 14:59–64, that “there aremany conventional content dependent techniques,” id. at 2:67–3:2, and that
it was known that the effectiveness of data compression is “highly contingent
upon the content of the data being compressed,” id. at 2:33–35.
Realtime also argues that “analyzing the data to identify one or moreparameters or attributes and performing compression with a plurality ofdifferent encoders based on that analysis” is a “non-conventional” function
and that using “multiple encoders to compress data blocks based on ananalysis of the specific content or type of the data being encoded without
relying solely on a descriptor” is what the common specification of the family
1 patents “makes clear” is the “inventive concept.” Appellant’s Br. 64–65. But
these are themselves abstract ideas and thus cannot provide an inventiveconcept. BSG Tech, 899 F.3d at 1290.
