The magistrate judge recommended granting defendants' motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. "[Plaintiff] claims that defendants’ [product] infringes the patent-in-suit without alleging any facts as to when the infringement began or whether it has continued to this day. Against this, defendants show that they have not offered [the accused product] since 2002 – more than one year before the earliest filling date of the [patent-in-suit]. . . . Because proof that the [accused] product infringes the [patent-in-suit] would also prove that the product anticipates under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b), this court recommends granting defendants’ motion to dismiss."
