Facts

Vasudevan Software Inc. sued Microstrategy Inc. alleging patent infringement. The disputed patents were entitled "Multimedia Inspection Database System (MIDaS) for Dynamic Run-Time Evaluation." Vasudevan sought a permanent injunction against Microstrategy as well as damages for the infringement. Microstrategy filed for summary judgment of non-infringement and invalidity of the asserted patents.

PLAINTIFF'S CONTENTION: Plaintiff contended that defendant infringed on its patents by its manufacture, use, sale, and/or importation of MicroStrategy 9.

DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS:
Defendant contended that the disputed patents did not meet the written description and enablement requirements with regards to the "disparate" and "incompatible" databases, and were, thus invalid. As such, defendant claimed it was entitled to summary judgment in its favor.

Result

U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg granted Microstrategy's motion for summary judgment of invalidity. The parties also stipulated that under the court's constructions of the asserted patents, MicroStrategy did not infringe the asserted patents. The court entered judgment in MicroStrategy's favor.
