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 are Albertsons’ and 7-Eleven’s respective motions to dismiss, which contend that the patents fail to recite patent -eligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. § 101. 4:20-CV-550, (Dkt. #8); 4:20-CV-800, (Dkt. #11). Having considered the motions, the subsequent briefing, and the relevant law, the Court concludes that the motion s should be DENIED. I. BACKGROUND CIT is the owner of the ’239 Patent, the ’296 Patent, and the ’010 Patent (collectively, the “Asserted Patents”).
