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.

In this patent case, the Court now considers Alacritech’s Motion for Leave to Serve Amended Infringement Contentions Against Defendants Wistron and Wiwynn and Assert Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 7,945,699 [Dkt. # 184]. After considering the parties’ briefing and arguments of counsel, the Court will GRANT the motion as to amendment of Alacritech’s infringement contentions (with some caveats), but DENY Alacritech leave to assert the ’699 Patent against Wistron and Wiwynn.
