Alice Motion Pending, FrameTech Keeps Filing

January 23, 2025

Undeterred by an Alice motion pending in the Southern District of Texas, FrameTech LLC has sued Fujitsu (2:25-cv-00058), Hitachi (2:25-cv-00059), and Inspur Group (2:25-cv-00060) in separate Eastern District of Texas complaints, as well as Oracle (7:25-cv-00020), in the Western District of Texas. FrameTech targets products that support remotely “upgrading an operating system on a mainframe computer system”: for Fujitsu, the PRIMERGY server; Hitachi, the Hitachi Advanced Server HA820; Inspur Group, the NF5280M6 servers; and Oracle, the Oracle x86 servers. The pending Alice motion challenges the claims of the sole asserted patent as ineligibly drawn to the abstract idea of “automating the upgrade of an operating system”, with defendant BMC Software drawing the court’s attention to prior sanctioned conduct of FrameTech’s litigation counsel.
