Plaintiff,

 v.

ATOPTECH, INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C 13-2965 MMC

ORDER GRANTING SYNOPSYS’

MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION

Before the Court is plaintiff Synopsys, Inc.’s (“Synopsys”) motion for reconsideration,

filed January 15, 2015, by which Synopsys seeks reconsideration of the Court’s order, filed

January 7, 2015, granting in part and denying in part defendant ATopTech, Inc.’s 

(“ATopTech”) motion to dismiss. In particular, Synopsys seeks reconsideration of the

Court’s determination that certain of Synopsys’ breach of contract claims are subject to

dismissal to the extent those claims are predicated on conduct alleged to have occurred

after Synopsys deposited its proprietary material with the United States Copyright Office. 

ATopTech has filed opposition, to which Synopsys has replied. The Court, having read and

considered the parties’ respective written submissions, is persuaded that the requested

relief is warranted. 

Accordingly, the motion for reconsideration is hereby GRANTED, and the abovereferenced challenged determinations are hereby SET ASIDE and VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 19, 2015
