`DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS,

`
`Defendants CQG, Inc. and CQGT, LLC ("collectively Defendants") hereby respond to
`
`Plaintiff Trading Technologies International, Inc.'s ("TT's") Complaint for Patent Infringement and
`
`move to dismiss, pursuant to Rule 12(b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the claims
`
`asserted against them by Plaintiff Trading Technologies, Intemational, Inc. ("TT"). As set lortb
`
`more fully in the accompanying Memorandum in Support of this Motion and the Declarations of
`
`Josef' Schroeter and Mark W. Fischer, Defendants request that the Court dismiss TT's Complaint in
`
`accordance with Rule 12(b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for improper venue, in light
`
`of Defendants' 11rst-filed Declaratory Judgment Action currently pending in the District of
`
`Colorado, which involves the same parties and addresses the same issues in this action.
`
`In the event the Court denies Defendants' Motion to Dismiss TT's Complaint, Defendants
`
`altematively request that the Court transfer venue pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) to the District of
`
`Colorado f'or consolidation with Defendants' first-filed Declaratory Judgment Action currently
`
`pending in that district. The Court should grant Defendants' request because the District of
`
`Colorado represents the more convenient fbrum for the parties and witnesses for resolution of this
`
`dispute, and transfer to the District of Colorado is in the interests of justice.
