`Motion for Preliminary Injunction
`Denied
`The court denied plaintiffs motion for a preliminary injuncUon from using the accused furnace tube inspection systems because
`® ff
`defendants raised a substanh'al question of invalidity due to arrtidpation and obviousness in light of plaintiff's own prior art system. "It is evident
`that the inspection data in the [report about the prior system] has been divided into subsets of smaller size, i. e., according to data markers
`Likelihood Of Success
`(return bends). The resulting display, while not as user-friendly as any of the contemporary systems, still presents the inspection data in a way
`that 'maps' or 'connects systematically' the data to the physical geometry of the furnace.. .. [N]othing in the specification or daims of the
`[patent-in-surt] that requires the inventive system to perform or look exactly like [plaintiffs] latest commercial iteraUon of its [system], so long as
`the inspedion data can be displayed in a way that suggests data markers representing the physical geometry of the furnace. " (page 15)
`The court denied plaintiffs motion for a preliminary injunction from using the accused furnace tube inspedion systems because plaintiff ^| ff
`failed to establish irreparable harm. "[PlainfifF] must 'deariy establish' that monetary damages will not suffice and that the alleged harm is related
`to the alleged infringing features of the accused inspecBon services. ... plaintiff] has not even attempted to analyze the relative importance of
`Irreparable Harm
`patented versus non-patented features and has tacifly conceded that several of the initially raised factors cannot be demonstrated. And
`although the court recognizes that, to some extent, the irreparable harm analysis is a forward-looking exercise, nevertheless, the court is not
`persuaded that [plaintiff] has demonstrated that defendants pose a threat of irreparable harm if allowed to compete, given the size of the
`market, the large number of refineries, and the fact that the parties have been competing for years. " (page 17)

`Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings
`Granted
`The court granted defendant's motion for judgment on the pleadings that plalnllfrs output file creation patent was invalid for lack of
`Q I?
`patentable subject matter and found that the patent was directed to an abstract idea. 'The dam elements redte a method of processing a
`query and returning results, deriving content from those results, and then organizing and delivering that content somewhere.... The method
`does add certain limitations, such as requiring that the query be processed against a database, that the database regard images, that the
`output be a stand-alone file containing an image and associated information, and that the file be delhrered. But... these limitations add no real
`degree of particularity, but regardless, at fts core, the central concept of the daimed invention is highly abstract: it is the idea of identifying,
`organizing, and presenting stored information. " (page 12)
`The court granted defendant's motion for judgment on the pleadings that plaintiffs output file creation patent was invalid for lack of
`TB I?
`patentable subject matter and found that the patent lacked an inventive concept. "Hhe mamage af image and text data in the presentation of
`information is a ubiquitous, not inventive, practice.... What that leaves, then, is only [plaintifFs] daim that its method of automatically
`generating those stand-alone output files combining image and text data is new and innovative. What [plaintiff] describes as its 'concrete and
`particularized' methods for automatically creating those files, however, amount to nothing more than routine and well understood data
`processing procedures.... Itis dfficuK to understand how a process whose steps can be deleted, modified, supplemented, and re-ordered,
`and which depends on no particular system or software for its implementation, provides a 'concrete' or 'particularized' limitation on the abstract
`concept of identifying, organizing, and presenting data. " (page 15)
`The court granted defendant's motion for judgment on the pleadings that plaintiffs output file creation patent was invalid for lack of
`B [§l
`patentable subject matter and found that the patent implicated preemption concerns. "The process, system, and software disdosed by the
`[patent-in-suit] are so abstract and generic that they represent little more than an attempt to monopolize any and every technical implementation
`of the basic process of identifying, organizing, and presenting images and assodated data stored in a database. Critically, claiming all forms of
`'automatically creating at least one stand-alone output file' could preempt even future innovations not contemplated by the [patent's] inventor."

`patents-in-suit because those patents were found invalid for lack of patentafale subject matter in another ongoing action. "Defendants assert
`that collateral estoppel applies to any order that finally determines the issues between the parties and that no entry of 'judgment' is required to
`give predusive effect. Notably, Defendants ate to no Fourth Circuit case which applies collateral estoppel specifically to the context we have
`here - an order granting partial summary judgment in an ongoing, separate litigation... . That order could be revised or vacated at any time
`before the court enters a judgment in the entire case. " (page 9)

`Motion to Lift Stay/Reopen
`Denied
`The court denied plaintiff's motion to lift a stay pending inter partes review after plaintiff offered to dismiss with prejudice the claims under @ gp
`review because the potential simplification of issues was not materially changed. "Under Rule 41(a)(2), [defendant's] counterclaims must
`Lift of Stay
`remain in the case for independent adjudication. Because [defendant's] first counterclaim implicates infringement detenminations for 'any daim
`of the [patent-in-suit]' and ['its] second counterclaim challenges the validity of the entire [patent], the claims under review at the USPTO will
`remain at issue in the instant case regardless of whether [plaintiff] is allowed to w'rthdraw the proposed daims." (page 6)
