By Memorandum Order entered by The Honorable Sue L. Robinson in Paltalk Holdings, Inc. v. Riot Games, Inc., Civil Action No. 16-1240-SLR (D.Del. May 15, 2017), the Court denied Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss which asserted that dismissal of the Complaint was appropriate because the asserted patents do not claim patent eligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101. The patents-in-suit are U.S. Patent Numbers 5,822,523 (“the ‘523 patent”) and 6,226,686 (“the ‘686 patent”). The ‘523 patent and the ‘686 patent relate to distribution of messages between computers in interactive environments, such as online gaming. Id. at *1. The Court disagreed with Defendant’s assertions and found that the claims at issue are not directed to an abstract idea. Id. at *10.

A copy of the Court’s Memorandum Order is attached.
