Earlier, on January 21, 2025, the court adopted a Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, denying the defendants' motions to dismiss on eligibility grounds without prejudice. The motions to dismiss alleged that all six patents asserted by the plaintiff claimed ineligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101. The dismissal on March 18, 2026, was based on the finding that the defendants had an automatic sublicense, precluding the plaintiff's claims.
