SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 9 – Netflix was sued in Texas on four patents in 2019. The case has been moved north and on June 12 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Gregory H. Woods held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it, below.
Now on November 9, with the case transferred to SDNY Judge John P. Cronan, another proceeding was held. Inner City Press also covered it. Fact discovery was set to end November 6, while expert discovery goes to March 26. Judge Cronan asked questions then for more briefing. The case is now
Personalized Media Communications, LLC v. Netflix, Inc., 20-cv-3708 (Cronan).
The question back in August was whether Netflix can file a motion to dismiss now, or should wait for a summary judgment motion.
Personalized Media Communications LLC seeks a "reasonably royalty" or a trial in the first quarter of 2021.
On August 25 Judge Woods held another another proceeding in the case and Inner City Press again covered it. This time, Judge Wood sided with PMC, that it is too early to require pin cites to the underlying source code.
The case is Personalized Media Communications, LLC v. Netflix, Inc., 20-cv-3708 (Cronan).
