Spansion's Motion for Summary Determination of Invalidity Under 35 U.S.C. § 101 Denied
ALJ Charneski issued an order denying Spansion Inc. and Spansion LLC's motion for summary determination of invalidity of U.S. Patent No. 5,740,065 under 35 U.S.C. § 101 in Inv. No. 337-TA-385, In the Matter of Certain Flash Memory and Products Containing Same. Spansion's motion, which argued that the '065 Patent covered unpatentable subject matter, was opposed by both the Complainat Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Samsung") and the Staff. In denying the motion ALJ Charneski held that "[w]hile there may be no disputed issues of material fact . . . Samsung and the Staff offer a more compelling argument for as to why summary determination is not appropriate."
