Specifically, these networking operations are not steps of a real-world economic practice or other similar abstract idea performed in a computer network. See, e.g., BuySafe, Inc. v. Google, Inc., 765 F.3d 1350, 1355 (Fed. Cir. 2014) (noting that the "claims [in that case] are squarely about creating a contractual relationship"—an abstract idea). Instead, the present claims expressly limit the settings to a subscriber to a network and requires processing these settings in a particular way to affect the network's service. It is a challenge particular to networking.

Because the claims are not drawn to any abstract idea recognized by the courts under Alice 's first step of the inquiry, we need not determine whether an inventive concept transforms the method into a patent-eligible application. Here, we only note that "the claimed solution is necessarily rooted in computer technology in order to overcome a problem specifically arising in the realm of computer networks." DDR Holdings, 773 F.3d at 1257, quoted in 2014 Interim Guidance, 79 Fed. Reg. at 74,632. Accordingly, claim I is eligible subject matter.
