Defendant's summary judgment motions fail
Leader Technologies, Inc. v. Facebook, Inc., Civil Action No. 08-862-LPS, March 14, 2011.
Stark, J. Defendant’s motions for summary judgment of non-infringement and invalidity based on anticipation and on the on-sale bar are denied.
The court orally denied these motions at a pre-trial conference, indicating that a written decision would follow. The court sets forth its rationale for denying the case dispositive motions. The court determined that each of the motions turned on genuine issues of material facts. The experts advanced detailed and plausible, although conflicting, opinions. In such cases, it is appropriate for consideration by a jury.
