2 HEALTH DISCOVERY CORPORATION v. INTEL CORPORATION

HDC appealed from the district court’s decision dis- missing HDC’s complaint without prejudice after conclud- ing that HDC failed to plead allegations supporting the eligibility of the asserted claims under 35 U.S.C. § 101.

HDC states that it has now “commenced a new civil action in the same court, adding pleading allegations that [HDC] believes overcomes the dismissal rationale” and “no longer wishes to pursue its appeal of the original dismissal with- out prejudice.” Mot. at 2. HDC, however, requests remand to “provide the district court the maximum ability to deter- mine whether the newly-filed civil action should proceed under the case number of the present original matter, or the case number of the new pleading.” Id. at 3.

Upon consideration thereof, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The motion is granted to the extent that the appeal is remanded for the limited purpose of allowing the district court to consider any request by HDC to allow its new ac- tion to proceed under the originating case number and to move forward based on the ruling on any such request. (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
