UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Brain Life, LLC,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 10cv01539-CAB (BGS)

ORDER GRANTING MOTIONS TO

DISMISS THE SECOND AMENDED

COMPLAINT WITHOUT

PREJUDICE

[Doc. Nos. 98, 100]

vs.

Medtronic, Inc., Varian Medical Systems,

Inc., Brainlab, Inc.,

Defendants.

Having considered the papers filed in conjunction with the pending motions to dismiss [Doc.

Nos. 98, 100], the Court finds that Plaintiff’s allegations of contributory infringement do not meet the

pleading requirements imposed by the Supreme Court in Bell Atl. Corp v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544

(2007) and Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662 (2009). Accordingly, the motions to dismiss [Doc. Nos.

98, 100] are granted without prejudice to Plaintiff amending the complaint. Plaintiff’s papers

demonstrate its ability to cure the pleading deficiencies at issue. As a result, the Court grants Plaintiff

leave to amend its complaint on or before February 11, 2013 to sufficiently plead contributory

infringement and remove allegations against dismissed parties.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: January 24, 2013
