From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Before the Court is Defendant Phoenix Contact USA Inc. ’s Motion to Dismiss Under to Rule 12(b)(6) for Failure to Allege Infringement of a Claim that is Patentable under 35 U.S.C. § 101. (Dkt. No. 11. ) The Court has considered the arguments and finds Phoenix ’s Motion to Dismiss (Dkt. No. 11) is DENIED because claim construction is necessary to determine patent- eligibility. Phoenix may re-raise its patent-eligibility arguments after the Court has construed the disputed terms. BACKGROUND Plaintiff Wetro Lan LLC owns U.S. Patent No. 6,795,918.
