Tenon & Grove, LLC, et al. v. Plusgrade S.E.C., et al., C.A. No. 12-1118-GMS-SRF, March 11, 2015.

Sleet, J.  Defendant’s motion for summary judgment is granted.  The Magistrate had issued a R&R on January 6, 2015, after which plaintiff filed objections.  The court overrules plaintiff’s objections.

The patents are found to be invalid based on §101 unpatentability.  The patents-in-suit relate to computer implemented methods for dynamic pricing.  Following Alice, the court agrees with the magistrate that the patents lack an inventive concept.  Here, the claims recite generic computer implementation.
