J. Slomsky dismisses claims over the '682 patent, which concerns technology for security problems in streaming audio and video content, because the claims fail both steps of the "Alice" framework. However, claims concerning the '980 patent survive the first "Alice" step and thus remain eligible for patent protection, and indirect and willful infringement claims may continue since the complaint adequately pleads pre-suit knowledge.

J. Winmill grants in part a company's motion to compel in a patent infringement dispute regarding simulated log-siding panel and the machine attachment used to create it. The patent holder did not produce a full exclusive license agreement until after the close of discovery and failed to correct a misstatement in its complaint that it manufactures, distributes and sells simulated log siding when, in fact, it had exclusively licensed those rights to another company. Discovery will be reopened for 45 days. The company may also conduct a second deposition of the patent holder and may file a motion for fees related to this motion.

J. Zilly partially stays the company's infringement claims relating to its '229 and '668 patents that were allegedly infringed on by the the video game company.

J. Starr finds that a case against technology company Huawei, whose products a communications company claims infringe on its patented process for routing cell phone calls to local numbers to avoid long distance charges, may proceed. The patent involves more than an abstract idea, it describes a specific process which constitutes a contribution to the technological field, so it is valid. Huawei’s motion to dismiss is denied.

J. Snyder denies a patent holder's motion to amend judgment or in the alternative, motion for a new trial, on its willfulness claim in a patent infringement dispute. The court found in favor of the alleged infringer on the patent holder's willfulness claim. The patent holder has not shown that the conduct rose to the level of "wanton, malicious and bad-faith behavior required for willful infringement." The patent holder has not sufficiently identified which testimony it alleges was inadmissible or how the court relied on that testimony in its findings of fact and conclusions of law. "Leave to amend to address post-suit willfulness would not be appropriate."

J. Williams sustains an objection to the denial of a motion to dismiss patent infringement claims concerning the use of codes to identify networked devices to establish connections because the representative claim of the '842 patent is directed to the abstract idea of communicating identification information with an image, a well known method that has been in use for some time, and no inventive concept can transform this claim into a patent-eligible application.
