NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SPECTRA LICENSING GROUP, LLC, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

MARVELL SEMICONDUCTOR INC., et 

al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 16-cv-06093-RS 

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

DISMISS

Plaintiff Spectra Licensing Group LLC (“Spectra”) initiated this patent infringement 

lawsuit in April 2016. On November 22, 2016, defendants Marvell Semiconductor Inc. and 

Marvell Technology Group LTD (collectively “Marvell”) filed a motion to dismiss the complaint 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). Rather than respond to the motion, Spectra 

opted to file an amended complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a) (providing plaintiffs leave to amend 

once as a matter of course within 21 days after service of a motion under Rule 12(b)). Marvell’s 

motion is therefore moot and denied without prejudice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: December 7, 2016
