STIPULATION / STIPULATED ORDER STAYING ACTION by LG ELECTRONICS INC., LG ELECTRONICS U.S.A., INC.. (BOCK, JOEL) (Entered: 04/09/2020)
03/16/20
Judge Richard G. Stearns: ORDER entered denying 14 Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State a Claim. The court agrees with Rain Computing that its patent infringement complaint is sufficient to satisfy the Iqbal and Twombly "plausibility" standard. A patent plaintiff "need not prove its case at the pleading stage. The complaint must place the potential infringer... on notice of what activity... is being accused of infringement." Nalco Co. v. Chem-Mod, LLC, 883 F.3d 1337, 1350 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (quotation marks and citations omitted). According to the Complaint, the asserted patent is directed to "methods and systems for delivering software packages to client terminals based on a subscription service by which a user is charged for specific applications that the user is subscribed to use." Compl. para 11. The Complaint alleges that Samsung infringes by delivering software applications (such as the Smart Home App) to Samsung devices (such as the Galaxy phones) via app stores (such as the Galaxy App Store), and Samsung "controls access to the app stores by requiring the user to register, subscribe, and/or agree to certain terms before that user can receive apps offered through the app stores." Compl. para. 16. Contrary to Samsungs suggestion, "the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure do not require a plaintiff to plead facts establishing that each element of an asserted claim is met." Nalco, 883 F.3d at 1350 (citation omitted). Samsungs other argument, that the asserted claims require a subscription to an application rather to an app store, is an infringement position that is premature at this stage of the litigation. Accordingly, Samsung to answer no later than 6/18/2019; Rain Computer to make its initial disclosures consistent with L.R. 16.6(d)(1) no later than 7/9/2019; parties to confer consistent with L.R. 16(d)(2) no later than 7/30/2019; Samsung to make its initial disclosures consistent with L.R. 16.6(d)(4) no later tha
