ORDER
The Magistrate Judge previously entered his Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 165), which recommended denial of Defendants HiCon Co., Ltd.’s and HiCon Company’s Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Standing (Dkt. No. 83). Defendants HiCon Co., Ltd. and HiCon Company have now filed an Objection to that Report and Recommendation. (Dkt. No. 179.)
After consideration of the briefing on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, the Report and Recommendation, Defendants’ Objection to the Report and Recommendation, and Plaintiffs’ Response to that objection (Dkt. No. 190), the Court concludes that the objections are without sufficient merit. While Defendants argue that Hwang would be procedurally unable to defend against any claims of invalidity, the Court points out that no patent invalidity claims are being made in this case. For that reason and the other reasons
2.
stated within the Report, the Court agrees with the conclusion reached within the Report. The Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation is therefore ADOPTED.
SIGNED this 19th day of December, 2011.
So ORDERED and SIGNED this 14th day of March, 2019.
