Pardalis Technology Licensing, L.L.C. v. International Business Machines Corporation, No. 2:22-cv-00452 (E.D. Tex. Sept. 4, 2024)

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 Plaintiff Pardalis Technology Licensing, L.L.C.’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings Concerning Inequitable Conduct. (Dkt. No. 124.) Pardalis’s motion contends that IBM has not pleaded inequitable conduct yet its expert reports contain opinions on such a defense. IBM responds that a motion for judgment on the pleadings is restricted to the pleadings and thus it would be improper for the Court to grant Par dalis’s motion. The Court agrees with IBM. The Court cannot pass judgment on matters not before it.
