Facts

Plaintiff Technology in Ariscale, LLC brought an action alleging that Defendant Razer USA, Ltd. Infringed on Ariscale's U.S. Patent No. 8,139,652 (the "'652 Patent"), which generally relates to decoding transmission signals in wireless communication systems. Razer moved for judgment on the pleadings, contending that the '652 is invalid under 35 U.S.C. Section 101 for claiming patent-ineligible subject matter.

Result

The court granted the motion for judgment on the pleadings, finding that Claim 1 of the '652 Patent did not recite an "inventive concept," which is required to transform an abstract idea into a patent-eligible invention. Accordingly, the court dismissed the complaint without leave to amend.
