ORDER
Defendants Verizon Communications Inc., Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless, and Verizon Corporate Services Group, Inc previously filed a Motion for Summary Judgment of NonInfringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,589,541. (Dkt. No. 177.) Magistrate Judge Payne entered a Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 311), recommending denial of Verizon’s Motion for Summary Judgment of Non-Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,589,541. Verizon has now filed Objections (Dkt. No. 340) and Headwater has filed its Response (Dkt. No. 373).
After conducting a de novo review of the briefing on the Motion for Summary Judgment of Non-Infringement of U.S. Paten t No. 8,589,541, the Report and Recommendation, and the briefing on Verizon’s 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 clearly erroneous. Consequently, the Court OVE RRULES Verizon’s Objections, ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation, and ORDERS that the Motion for Summary Judgment of Non-Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,589,541 (Dkt. No. 177) is DENIED.
