Tropical Patents: Motion to Dismiss Filed in Ingeniador vs Every Tech Company in the US (UPDATED)

Back in August, we wrote about the second patent infringement suit filed in Puerto Rico this year, Ingeniador, LLC. v Interwoven, Blackboard, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, et al, Civil Action No. 3:11-cv-01840. The suit is against no less than 16 major tech companies in the U.S.

After one too many motions of appearance, pro hac vice, and motions for extension of time to answer the complaint, someone finally filed a juicy motion. Defendants Microsoft Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company, EMC Corporation, Nuxeo Corporation, Informatica Corporation, Oracle Corporation, SAP America, Inc., and Lexmark International, Inc, appearing jointly, filed a lengthy motion to dismiss pursuant to R. 12(b)(6), and in light of the Supreme Court’s rulings in Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 129 S. Ct. 1937 (2009), and Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544 (2007).

Below is the motion, and as soon as a response is entered, we’ll post it!

Update 12/28/2011: Several defendant’s filed motions to dismiss. This week, Ingeniador filed three lengthy motions in opposition to motions to dismiss. Here are Ingeniador’s motions in response [Response 1, Response 2 and Response 3]
