No Retreat for DynaIP-Managed Plaintiff from District Where Alice Motions “Are Rarely Denied”
Late in February, Southern District of New York Judge J. Paul Oetken denied a motion filed by Ramey LLP-repped plaintiff LINFO IP LLC to dismiss its case against Aero Global without prejudice, as well as an alternative request, presented casually in a reply brief, to stay that case. LINFO IP made the request after Southern District of New York Judge Jesse M. Furman, in a suit in the same campaign, this one against Trustpilot, invalidated all claims of the sole asserted patent under Alice, as ineligibly directed to the abstract idea of “extracting and presenting information”. LINFO IP filed an appeal of that ruling and moved to dismiss its case against Aero Global “to save expenses”. Its own Alice motion pending and the possibility of a future attorney fees shift hanging over the case, Aero Global resisted, leading to Judge Oetken’s ruling. Aero Global is also seeking a shift of attorney fees from AML IP LLC in the same district; AML IP and LINFO IP are both tied to Texas monetization firm Dynamic IP Deals, LLC (d/b/a DynaIP).
