In Health Discovery Corp. v. Intel Corp., Judge Alan Albright granted, in part, Intel’s motion to dismiss infringement claims of AI machine-learning patents on § 101 grounds. 

On December 6, 2021, in USC IP Partnerships, LP v. Facebook, Inc., Judge Albright granted Facebook’s motion for summary judgment on Section 101 grounds in what appears to be a first for the court. 

In a one-paragraph docket-text order, the court denied defendant’s early case Rule 12 motion to dismiss due to alleged patent ineligibility under Alice and Section 101.

In his ongoing effort to provide more transparency into his decision-making, Judge Albright opened the virtual doors to his “courtroom” on Wednesday (April 22, 2020) for the Markman hearing in Slyce Acquisition Inc. v. Syte – Visual Conception Ltd. et al., WDTX-6:19-cv-00257.
