Plaintiff has filed three substantially identical complaints against different defendants in this Court.
On May 4, 2015, Defendant Activision Blizzard, Inc. (“Activision”) moved to dismiss plaintiff’s induced infringement claims in this action.
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.
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.
