INTRODUCTION Plaintiffs Amazon.com, Inc. ("Amazon.com") and A9.com, Inc., ("A9.com") brought this action against defendants Cendant Corporation ("Cendant"), Trilegiant Corporation ("Trilegiant"), Orbitz, LLC and Orbitz, Inc. (collectively "Orbitz"), Budget Rent A Car System, Inc. ("Budget"), and Avis Rent A Car System, Inc. ("Avis"), for infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,715,399 ("the '399 patent"), 6,029,141 ("the '141 patent"), 6,629,079 ("the '079 patent"), and 6,625,609 ("the '609 patent"). The patents cover innovations relating to electronic commerce. Defendants operate businesses that practice the inventions claimed in the patents. Defendants move to dismiss plaintiffs' claims under Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or in the alternative, for a more definite statement under Rule 12(e). The complaint, however, fully satisfies the standard for notice pleading against all defendants, including Cendant. The complaint follows the form pleading approved by the Judicial Conference Advisory Committee for patent infringement cases, and even includes additional detail beyond what the Rules require. The complaint identifies separately which defendants directly or indirectly infringe each patent and the infringing activities of each defendant. The complaint also separately alleges for each patent that the infringing defendants knew of the patent and that their activities were infringing. Nothing more is required to give defendants fair notice under Rule 8. Implicitly conceding the sufficiency of plaintiffs' complaint, defendants ask the Court to consider evidence outside the pleadings and to decide a summary judgment motion on the issue of Cendant's infringement. Dispositive action on the merits of plaintiffs' infringement claim against Cendant is premature. Cendant has not yet answered the complaint or provided any discovery. In fact, defendants have requested a stay of all discovery, which would deprive plaintiffs of the opportunity to test the representations Cendant has made in support of its motion. The Court should deny defendants' motions.
