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.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (collectively, “Samsung”) previously filed a motion to dismiss all asserted patent claims on two bases : (1) that these claims are “irreparably tainted by [Counterclaim Defendants] Ahn and Cho wrongfully seeking out, taking, using, and disclosing Samsung’s privileged information about this case,” and (2) that the “bad faith misconduct” of Counterclaim Defendant Synergy warrant s the Court’s use of its inherent power to dismiss the case. (Dkt. No. 779 at 1).
