Parus Holdings, Inc. v. Sallie Mae Bank, et al., C.A. No. 14-1427-SLR; Parus Holdings, Inc. v. PNC Bank, et al., C.A. No. 14-1428-SLR; Parus Holdings, Inc. v. Suntrust Bank, et al., C.A. No. 14-1429-SLR, October 8, 2015.
Robinson, J. Defendants’ motions to dismiss under § 101 are granted.
The disputed technology relates to a computer network system. The claims do not reference any customization of the compilation of hardware and software described by the specification and therefore do not confer patent eligibility to claims directed to the abstract idea of generating tasks to be performed in an insurance organization. The steps are not sufficiently specific to negate the risk of pre-emption. There is no inventive concept to pass muster under Alice.
