Before MOORE, LINN, and O'MALLEY, Circuit Judges.


MOORE, Circuit Judge.

Rambus Inc. appeals from the decision of the Board of Patent Appeals & Interferences (Board) holding invalid various claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,260,097 ('097 patent) for anticipation and obviousness. Rambus challenges the Board's claim construction and its obviousness decision. Because the Board correctly construed the claims but erred in its obviousness decision, we affirm-in-part, vacate-in-part, and remand.
