| Oct 30, 2023 | 9 | Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered. While it is true, as plaintiff IOT Innovations LLC notes, that this case involves the same patents as were asserted against SimpliSafe in the purportedly related actions, it is not clear to the court how the cases can plausibly be said to raise the same or substantially similar "issues of fact" or relate to the same "property" in the relevant sense. Only infringement is currently at issue in the case, and whether SimpliSafe's product infringed any claim of the asserted patents has no bearing on whether the completely different accused product in this case infringes any claim of the asserted patents. The court will return this case to the queue for random reassignment. (RGS, law3) (Entered: 10/30/2023) (0) |
