The outcome"
Sanderling Management Ltd. (“Sanderling”) appeals
from the district court’s dismissal of Sanderling’s patent
infringement suit against Snap Inc. (“Snap”) due to the asserted claims’ lack of patent-eligible subject matter under
35 U.S.C. § 101 (“Section 101”). Sanderling also asks us to
review the district court’s denial of its motion for leave to
amend its complaint. We affirm.
Footnote 6: It is within a district court’s discretion to require a
party opposing a Rule 12 motion based on Section 101 to
identify, and articulate the significance of, specific fact disputes that purportedly make granting the motion improper. A patentee’s failure to do so should, as here,
preclude the court from denying the motion simply based
on a vague pronouncement to the effect that “a factual dispute exists.”
