ORDER
Staton Techiya, LLC, Synergy IP Corporation, Seung-Ho Ahn, and Sungil Cho (collectively “Counterclaim Defendants”) previously filed a motion to dismiss under the doctrine of forum non conveniens and to for failure to state a claim. (Dkt. No. 109.) Magistrate Judge Payne entered a Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 259) recommending that the motion be denied. Counterclaim Defendants have filed Objections (Dkt. No. 307), with Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (collectively “Samsung”) filing a response (Dkt. No. 330).
After conducting a de novo review of the briefing on the motion to dismiss, the Report and Recommendation, and the briefing on the Objections, the Court agrees with the reasoning provided within the Report and Recommendation and concludes that the Objections fail to show that the Report and Recommendation was erroneous. Consequently, the Court OVERRULES Counterclaim Defendants’ Objections, ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation, and ORDERS that the motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. 109) is DENIED.
