Sentius International LLC v. BlackBerry Limited et al, No. 2:16-cv-00773 (E.D. Tex. Sept. 1, 2017)

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.

Sentius International LLC (“Sentius”) objects to Ma gistrate Judge Payne’s recommendation that the BlackBerry defendants’ motion for summary judgment that claim 95 of U.S. Patent No. RE40,731 is invalid be grante d because the patentee improperly broadened the original claim, in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 251. Having reviewed Sentius’s objections, and having considered Judge Payne’s Report and Recommendation de novo, the Court finds no reason to reject or modify the recommended disposition. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3); 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C).
