`
`UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
`
`PHILIPS NORTH AMERICA LLC,
`
`v.
`
`FITBIT, INC.,
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`Defendant.
`
`Civil Action No. 1:19-cv-11586-IT
`
`DEFENDANT FITBIT, INC.’S RENEWED RULE 12(b)(6) MOTION TO DISMISS
`PLAINTIFF PHILIPS NORTH AMERICA LLC’S FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT
`UNDER 35 U.S.C. § 101
`
`
`
`Defendant Fitbit, Inc. (“Fitbit”) files this renewed motion to dismiss Plaintiff Philips
`
`North America, LLC’s (“Philips”) first amended complaint with prejudice under Rule 12(b)(6)
`
`of the Federal Rules for Civil Procedure. Philips opposes this motion.
`
`The claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,013,007, 6,976,958, 7,088,233, and 8,277,377
`
`(collectively, “the Asserted Patents”) are invalid as directed to patent-ineligible subject matter
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Philips’ new allegations in its first amended complaint cannot overcome
`
`admissions in the specification or rewrite the claims. Thus, for at least these reasons, Philips’
`
`first amended complaint (Dkt, 25) fails to allege a claim of infringement of the Asserted Patents
`
`on which relief can be granted. In support, Fitbit relies on the memorandum submitted with this
`
`renewed motion, the accompanying declaration and exhibits, and any further briefing and
`
`argument permitted by the Court.
`
`Fitbit respectfully requests the Court to GRANT this renewed motion and DISMISS
`
`Philips’ first amended complaint (Dkt. 25) with prejudice.

`
`REQUEST FOR ORAL ARGUMENT
`
`Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1(d), Fitbit requests the Court entertain oral argument on this
`
`motion, as Fitbit believes oral argument will assist the Court.
