routine
The Lisbon LD rejected defendants' request under R. 361 RoP to dismiss the infringement action as manifestly lacking foundation. The defendants argued that the statement of claim (SOC) omitted a feature of claim 1, rendering it defective. The court held that the omission was a clerical mistake — the feature was sufficiently addressed throughout the SOC's technical infringement analysis. R. 361 dismissal requires that the action be 'doomed to failure without the need for in-depth analysis,' which was not met. The court also admitted the claimant's corrected SOC under R. 9 RoP, holding that a mere correction of a clerical mistake does not qualify as an amendment under R. 263 RoP.
