`

`

`

`
`
`
`ACTIVISION’S JOINDER IN MOTION TO DISMISS
`JOINT INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS FILED BY ELECTRONIC ARTS, INC.
`
`Plaintiff has filed three substantially identical complaints against different
`
`defendants in this Court. In addition to this action, Plaintiff later filed actions against Electronic
`
`Arts (C.A. No. 15-282-RGA) and Take Two (C.A. No. 15-311-RGA). On May 4, 2015,
`
`Defendant Activision Blizzard, Inc. (“Activision”) moved to dismiss plaintiff’s induced
`
`infringement claims in this action. (D.I. 11-12.) Thereafter, on May 13, 2015, the Federal
`
`Circuit issued its opinion in Akamai Technologies, Inc. v. Limelight Networks, Inc., No. 2009-
`
`1372, 2015 WL 2216261 (Fed. Cir. May 13, 2015), concerning the requirements for a claim of
`
`joint infringement. On May 21, 2015, citing Akamai, Electronic Arts moved to dismiss
`
`Plaintiff’s claims of joint infringement against it, in addition to its claims for induced
`
`infringement.
`
`Activision hereby joins in and incorporates by reference Electronic Arts’s motion
`
`to dismiss Plaintiff’s claims of joint infringement and its Opening Brief in support thereof. (C.A.
`
`No. 15-282-RGA, D.I. 11-12). Specifically, Activision seeks dismissal of Counts III, VI and
`
`VIII of Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint, asserting that Activision infringes the method claims of
`
`
`
`Case 1:15-cv-00228-RGA Document 17 Filed 06/01/15 Page 2 of 3 PageID #: 984
`
`U.S. Patent Nos. 6,732,147, 6,910,069 and 6,920,497 based on a theory of joint infringement.
`
`(D.I. 7 at ¶¶ 65-66, 96-97 and 117-118).
