[Doc. No. 79.] 16 17 18 On October 5, 2020, Plaintiff and Counterdefendant Torrey Pines Logic, Inc. 19 (“TPL”) filed a motion to dismiss Defendant and Counterclaimant Gunwerks, LLC 20 (“Gunwerks”)’s breach of contract counterclaim for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and 21 for failure to state a claim. (Doc. Nos. 78, 79.) On October 19, 2020, Gunwerks filed a 22 response in opposition to TPL’s motion to dismiss. (Doc. No. 82.) On October 26, 2020, 23 TPL filed a reply. (Doc. Nos. 89, 91.) On October 26, 2020, the Court took the matter 24 under submission. (Doc. No. 85.) For the reasons below, the Court denies TPL’s motion 25 to dismiss the breach of contract counterclaim. 26 BACKGROUND 27 The following factual background is taken from the allegations in the parties’ 28 pleadings. Plaintiff Torrey Pines Logic is a California corporation with its principal place 1 19-cv-02195-H-DEB Dockets.Justia.com Case 3:19-cv-02195-H-DEB Document 92 Filed 10/28/20 PageID.1002 Page 2 of 10 1 of business in San Diego, California. (Doc. No. 1, Compl. ¶ 1.) Defendant Gunwerks is a 2 Wyoming limited liability company with its principal place of business in Cody, Wyoming. 3 (Doc. No. 73, Amended Counterclaims ¶ 1.) TPL and Gunwerks are competitors in the 4 field of the manufacturing of riflescopes. (Id. ¶¶ 1, 3.) 5 U.S. Patent No. 10,480,901 (“the ’901 patent”), entitled “Riflescope with Feedback 6 Display and Related Methods,” issued on November 19, 2019. (Doc. No. 11, Ex. C at 2.) 7 The ’901 Patent on its face lists “Christopher Ryan Thomas” as the inventor and 8 “Gunwerks, LLC” as the assignee. (Id.) The ’901 Patent issued from U.S. Patent 9 Application No. 15/581,244 (“the ’244 application”). (Id.) 10 The ’244 application, entitled “Riflescope with Feedback Display and Related 11 Methods,” was filed on April 28, 2017 with the USPTO. (Doc. No. 1-2, Compl. Ex. 1 at 12 3-9, 42.) When the ’244 application was filed, it listed Christopher Thomas and Forrest 13 Babcock as the inventors. (Id. at 8, 34.) 14 TPL alleges that although Mr. Babcock was originally listed an inventor on the ’244 15 application, during the prosecution of the application, Mr. Babcock was removed as an 16 inventor due to misrepresentations made by Gunwerks and its attorneys to the USPTO. 17 (Doc. No. 1, Compl. ¶ 31.) TPL further alleges that Mr. Babcock assigned all his rights in 18 the ’244 application to TPL. (Id. ¶¶ 14, 32, 39, Ex. 3.) TPL asserts that Mr. Babcock is a 19 co-inventor of the ’901 Patent, and, thus, TPL has an ownership interest in the ’901 patent 20 through its assignment agreement with Mr. Babcock. (Id. ¶¶ 26, 33-36.) 21 On November 18, 2019, Plaintiff TPL filed a complaint against Defendant 22 Gunwerks, alleging claims for: (1) a declaratory judgment for a correction of inventorship 23 under 35 U.S.C. § 256 and a declaration of ownership of U.S. Patent No. 10,480,901; and 24 (2) intentional interference with a contractual relationship. (Doc. No. 1, Compl.) On 25 January 30, 2020, Gunwerks filed an answer to the complaint along with counterclaims 26 against TPL. (Doc. No. 11.) In its answer and counterclaims, Gunwerks attempted to add 27 Revic, LLC as an additional counterclaimant and Christopher R. Thomas as an additional 28 counterdefendant. (See id.) 2 19-cv-02195-H-DEB Case 3:19-cv-02195-H-DEB Document 92 Filed 10/28/20 PageID.1003 Page 3 of 10 1 On July 14, 2020, the Court: (1) granted TPL and Thomas’s motion to sever Revic’s 2 counterclaims; (2) denied TPL and Thomas’s motions to dismiss Gunwerks’s 3 counterclaims; and (3) denied TPL and Thomas’s motion for a more definite statement. 4 (Doc. No. 53 at 16.) In the order, the Court dismissed Revic and its counterclaims from 5 the action without prejudice and without leave to amend. (Id. at 16.) On July 29, 2020, 6 pursuant to the parties’ joint motion to dismiss, the Court dismissed Mr. Thomas from the 7 action without prejudice. (Doc. No. 55.) 8 On September 22, 2020, Gunwerks filed a first amended answer and counterclaims, 9 alleging counterclaims against TPL for: (1) a declaratory judgment of ownership of the 10 ’901 patent; (2) tortious interference with a contractual relationship; (3) intentional 11 interference with a prospective business advantage; (4) breach of contract; and (5) 12 intentional interference with a contractual relationship. (Doc. No. 73.) By the present 13 motion, TPL moves to dismiss Gunwerk’s counterclaim for breach of contract pursuant to 14 Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and 15 pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim. (Doc. No. 78.) 16 17 DISCUSSION I. Legal Standards 18 A. 19 Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) authorizes a court to dismiss claims for 20 lack of subject matter jurisdiction. “Rule 12(b)(1) jurisdictional attacks can be either facial 21 or factual.” White v. Lee, 227 F.3d 1214, 1242 (9th Cir. 2000). “In a facial attack, the 22 challenger asserts that the allegations contained in a complaint are insufficient on their face 23 to invoke federal jurisdiction. By contrast, in a factual attack, the challenger disputes the 24 truth of the allegations that, by themselves, would otherwise invoke federal jurisdiction.” 25 Safe Air for Everyone v. Meyer, 373 F.3d 1035, 1039 (9th Cir. 2004). Legal Standards for a Rule 12(b)(1) Motion to Dismiss 26 “In resolving a factual attack on jurisdiction, the district court may review evidence 27 beyond the complaint without converting the motion to dismiss into a motion for summary 28 judgment.” Safe Air for Everyone, 373 F.3d at 1039. “The court need not presume the 3 19-cv-02195-H-DEB Case 3:19-cv-02195-H-DEB Document 92 Filed 10/28/20 PageID.1004 Page 4 of 10 1 truthfulness of the plaintiff’s allegations.” Id. “‘Once the moving party has converted the 2 motion to dismiss into a factual motion by presenting affidavits or other evidence properly 3 brought before the court, the party opposing the motion must furnish affidavits or other 4 evidence necessary to satisfy its burden of establishing subject matter jurisdiction.’” Id. 5 When lack of standing pertains to a federal court’s subject-matter jurisdiction under Article 6 III, it is “properly raised in a motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 7 12(b)(1).” White, 227 F.3d at 1242. 8 B. 9 A motion to dismiss under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) tests the legal 10 sufficiency of the pleadings and allows a court to dismiss a complaint if the plaintiff has 11 failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. See Conservation Force v. Salazar, 12 646 F.3d 1240, 1241 (9th Cir. 2011). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2) requires that 13 a pleading stating a claim for relief containing “a short and plain statement of the claim 14 showing that the pleader is entitled to relief.” The function of this pleading requirement is 15 to “give the defendant fair notice of what the . . . claim is and the grounds upon which it 16 rests.” Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007). Legal Standards for a Rule 12(b)(6) Motion to Dismiss 17 A complaint will survive a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss if it contains “enough 18 facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.” Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 19 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007). “A claim has facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual 20 content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable 21 for the misconduct alleged.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009). “A pleading 22 that offers ‘labels and conclusions’ or ‘a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of 23 action will not do.’” Id. (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555). “Nor does a complaint 24 suffice if it tenders ‘naked assertion[s]’ devoid of ‘further factual enhancement.’” Id. 25 (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 557). Accordingly, dismissal for failure to state a claim is 26 proper where the claim “lacks a cognizable legal theory or sufficient facts to support a 27 cognizable legal theory.” Mendiondo v. Centinela Hosp. Med. Ctr., 521 F.3d 1097, 1104 28 (9th Cir. 2008). 4 19-cv-02195-H-DEB Case 3:19-cv-02195-H-DEB Document 92 Filed 10/28/20 PageID.1005 Page 5 of 10 1 In reviewing a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss, a district court must accept as true 2 all facts alleged in the complaint, and draw all reasonable inferences in favor of the 3 claimant. See Retail Prop. Trust v. United Bhd. of Carpenters & Joiners of Am., 768 F.3d 4 938, 945 (9th Cir. 2014). But, a court need not accept “legal conclusions” as true. Ashcroft 5 v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009). Further, it is improper for a court to assume the 6 claimant “can prove facts which it has not alleged or that the defendants have violated the 7 . . . laws in ways that have not been alleged.” Associated Gen. Contractors of Cal., Inc. v. 8 Cal. State Council of Carpenters, 459 U.S. 519, 526 (1983). 9 In addition, a court may consider documents incorporated into the complaint by 10 reference and items that are proper subjects of judicial notice. See Coto Settlement v. 11 Eisenberg, 593 F.3d 1031, 1038 (9th Cir. 2010). If the court dismisses a complaint for 12 failure to state a claim, it must then determine whether to grant leave to amend. See Doe 13 v. United States, 58 F.3d 494, 497 (9th Cir. 1995). “A district court may deny a plaintiff 14 leave to amend if it determines that ‘allegation of other facts consistent with the challenged 15 pleading could not possibly cure the deficiency,’ or if the plaintiff had several opportunities 16 to amend its complaint and repeatedly failed to cure deficiencies.” Telesaurus VPC, LLC 17 v. Power, 623 F.3d 998, 1003 (9th Cir. 2010) (internal quotation marks and citations 18 omitted). 19 II. Analysis 20 In the amended answer and counterclaims, Gunwerks alleges a counterclaim against 21 TPL for breach of contract based on a May 1, 2017 nondisclosure agreement between TPL 22 and Revic. (Doc. No. 73, Amended Counterclaims ¶¶ 161-67.) TPL argues that this claim 23 should be dismissed pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1) for lack of standing and pursuant to Rule 24 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim. (Doc. No. 78 at 4-12.) 25 Under Wyoming law: “‘The elements for a breach of contract claim consist of a 26 lawfully enforceable contract, an unjustified failure to timely perform all or any part of 27 28 5 19-cv-02195-H-DEB Case 3:19-cv-02195-H-DEB Document 92 Filed 10/28/20 PageID.1006 Page 6 of 10 1 what is promised therein, and entitlement of injured party to damages.’” 1 Schlinger v. 2 McGhee, 268 P.3d 264, 268 (Wyo. 2012) (quoting Reynolds v. Tice, 595 P.2d 1318, 1323 3 (Wyo. 1979)). The agreement at issue, the May 1, 2017 NDA, on its face lists “Revic 4 LLC” and “Torrey Pines Logic, Inc.” as the contracting parties. 2 (Doc. No. 11, Ex. G at 5 4.) Gunwerks concedes this in its amended counterclaims and in its opposition. (See Doc. 6 No. 73, Amended Counterclaims ¶¶ 70-72; Doc. No. 82 at 2.) 7 TPL argues that because Gunwerks is not a party to the May 1, 2017 NDA, its 8 counterclaim for breach of that agreement should be dismissed for lack of standing 9 pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1). (Doc. No. 78 at 4-9.) TPL argues that because Gunwerks is not 10 a party to the NDA, and it never obtained any rights to the NDA, Gunwerks lacks any rights 11 to sue under the NDA. (Id.) 12 As an initial matter, the Court notes that TPL’s specific arguments regarding 13 standing may not be raised via a Rule 12(b)(1) motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter 14 jurisdiction. Here, TPL argues that Gunwerks lacks standing to bring the present breach 15 of contract claim because Gunwerks has no rights in the May 1, 2017 NDA between TPL 16 and Revic. (Doc. No. 78 at 4-9.) The Ninth Circuit has explained that the question of 17 whether a plaintiff “possesses legally enforceable rights under [an] agreement is a question 18 of the merits rather than one of constitutional standing.” In re Volkswagen “Clean Diesel” 19 Mktg., Sales Practices, & Prod. Liab. Litig., 975 F.3d 770 n.4 (9th Cir. 2020); accord 20 Lindsey v. Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., 409 F. App’x 77, 78 (9th Cir. 2010) 21 (“Whether a plaintiff possesses legally enforceable rights under a contract is a question on 22 the merits rather than a question of constitutional standing.”); see also SM Kids, LLC v. 23 Google LLC, 963 F.3d 206, 212 (2d Cir. 2020) (“The other circuits are in accord that 24 25 1 26 The parties agree that the relevant agreements are governed by Wyoming law. (Doc. No. 78 at 5 n.3; Doc. No. 82 at 5.) 27 2 28 The Court may consider the contents of the May 1, 2017 NDA because it is an exhibit attached to the pleadings, specifically Gunwerks’s counterclaims. See Daniels-Hall v. Nat’l Educ. Ass’n, 629 F.3d 992, 998 (9th Cir. 2010). 6 19-cv-02195-H-DEB Case 3:19-cv-02195-H-DEB Document 92 Filed 10/28/20 PageID.1007 Page 7 of 10 1 contractual standing goes to the merits of a claim rather than to the existence of subject- 2 matter jurisdiction.” (collecting cases)). Thus, this issue is appropriately raised via a Rule 3 12(b)(6) motion, not a Rule 12(b)(1) motion. See Lindsey, 409 F. App’x at 78. As such, 4 the Court construes TPL’s motion to dismiss the breach of contract claim on the grounds 5 that Gunwerks lacks any rights under the agreement at issue as a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to 6 dismiss for failure to state a claim on that ground. See, e.g., id.; Melcher v. Fried, No. 16- 7 CV-02440-BAS(BGS), 2018 WL 2411747, at *2 n.4 (S.D. Cal. May 29, 2018); Rote v. 8 Lot Sols., Inc., No. 3:16-CV-1434-PK, 2017 WL 1148281, at *5 (D. Or. Mar. 3, 2017), 9 report and recommendation adopted, No. 3:16-CV-1434-PK, 2017 WL 1137449 (D. Or. 10 Mar. 27, 2017). And the Court reviews TPL’s motion to dismiss under the Rule 12(b)(6) 11 standard. See id. 12 In the amended counterclaims, Gunwerks alleges that it “purchased all of the assets 13 (tangible and intangible) of Revic on or about January 1, 2019.” (Doc. No. 73, Amended 14 Counterclaims ¶ 48.) Gunwerks further alleges: “As a result of Gunwerks purchasing all 15 of the assets (tangible and intangible) of Revic on or about January 1, 2019, including 16 Revic’s rights in the 2017 Torrey Pines NDA, Gunwerks legally stands in the shoes of 17 Revic to enforce the 2017 Torrey Pines NDA.” (Id. ¶ 162.) Gunwerks argues that these 18 allegations are sufficient at the pleading stage to establish its right to bring a claim for 19 breach of the May 1, 2017. (Doc. No. 82 at 5-6.) The Court agrees that Gunwerks’s 20 allegations are sufficient to establish Gunwerks’s right to sue under the agreement at the 21 pleading stage. Cf. Cent. Wyoming Med. Lab., LLC v. Med. Testing Lab, Inc., 43 P.3d 22 121, 128 (Wyo. 2002) (“‘In the absence of a contrary intention, an assignment usually 23 passes as incidents all ancillary remedies and rights of action which the assignor had or 24 would have had for the enforcement of the right or chose assigned.’” (quoting 6A C.J.S. 25 Assignments § 77 (1975)); Knott v. McDonald’s Corp., 147 F.3d 1065, 1067 (9th Cir. 26 1998) (explaining that “rights attached to a contract, including the right to sue for breach 27 of contract, are assignable”); 6A C.J.S. Assignments § 94 (2020) (“[I]n the absence of a 28 contrary intention, an assignee acquires the same rights as the assignor to protect and 7 19-cv-02195-H-DEB Case 3:19-cv-02195-H-DEB Document 92 Filed 10/28/20 PageID.1008 Page 8 of 10 1 enforce the assigned rights, including the right to maintain a civil action[.] . . . For instance, 2 an assignee can enforce an assigned contract against the original obligor.” (footnotes 3 omitted) (citing Cent. Wyoming Med. Lab., 43 P.3d 121)). 4 TPL argues that a review of the relevant transfer agreement between Gunwerks and 5 Revic demonstrates that Gunwerks never obtained any rights in the May 1, 2017 NDA. 6 (Doc. No. 78 at 6-9.) But the Court may not consider the transfer agreement at this stage 7 in the proceedings. “As a general rule, ‘a district court may not consider any material 8 beyond the pleadings in ruling on a Rule 12(b)(6) motion.’” 3 Lee v. City of Los Angeles, 9 250 F.3d 668, 688 (9th Cir. 2001). Thus, the Court may not consider the contents of the 10 transfer agreement at this time. 4 11 TPL also argues that even assuming Revic assigned the NDA to Gunwerks, 12 Gunwerks’s counterclaim still fails because an assignment of an agreement is insufficient 13 to convey an accrued cause of action (like the present breach of contract claim) under the 14 agreement. (Doc. No. 89 at 5-6.) TPL attempts to support this argument by citing to the 15 following passage from the Wyoming Supreme Court’s decision in Central Wyoming 16 Medical Laboratory, LLC v. Medical Testing Lab, Inc.: “‘An assignment of a title or 17 interest in property, however, does not, of itself, constitute an assignment of an existing 18 cause of action for a tort previously committed with reference to the property.’” 43 P.3d 19 at 128–29 (quoting 6A C.J.S. Assignments § 77 (1975)). But in this passage, the Wyoming 20 Supreme Court is referring to “‘an existing cause of action for tort.’” Id. The counterclaim 21 22 3 23 24 25 The Court acknowledges that at the 12(b)(6) stage, it may consider documents subject to judicial notice or documents incorporated by reference into the complaint. See Coto Settlement, 593 F.3d at 1038. But TPL has not demonstrate that the transfer agreement meets either of those standards. The transfer agreement is not a matter of public record. Indeed, TPL filed the agreement under seal. Further, Gunwerks’s counterclaims do not specifically identify or refer to the transfer agreement in its allegations. (See generally Doc. No. 73.) 26 4 27 28 Although the Court declines to consider the contents of the transfer agreement at the 12(b)(6) stage, the Court notes that its decision is without prejudice to TPL raising its arguments regarding the transfer agreement at a later stage in the proceedings, such as through a motion for summary judgment. 8 19-cv-02195-H-DEB Case 3:19-cv-02195-H-DEB Document 92 Filed 10/28/20 PageID.1009 Page 9 of 10 1 at issue is a breach of contract claim, not a tort claim. Cf. Rissler & McMurry Co. v. 2 Sheridan Area Water Supply Joint Powers Bd., 929 P.2d 1228, 1235 (Wyo. 1996) 3 (distinguishing claims brought “under contract theory” from “those which fall within tort 4 principles”). Thus, TPL’s reliance on the above passage is misplaced, and the Court rejects 5 this argument. See Cent. Wyoming Med. Lab., 43 P.3d at 128; 6A C.J.S. Assignments § 6 94 (2020). 7 Finally, TPL argues that Gunwerks’s breach of contract counterclaim should be 8 dismissed for failure to state a claim because Gunwerks has failed to adequately allege the 9 breach element of its counterclaim. (Doc. No. 78 at 9-12.) Specifically, TPL argues that 10 Gunwerks has failed to adequately identify or describe in its allegations any specific 11 confidential information that TPL purportedly misused or disclosed in violation of the 12 NDA. 5 (Id. at 10.) 13 In the amended counterclaims, Gunwerks alleges that the May 1, 2017 NDA places 14 several restrictions on the use and disclosure of Revic’s confidential information by TPL. 6 15 (Doc. No. 73, Counterclaims ¶¶ 74-77 (quoting Doc. No. 11, Ex. G §§ 4, 5).) And 16 Gunwerks supports these allegations with quotations from the relevant provisions in the 17 NDA. (Id.) Gunwerks also alleges that Revic shared its confidential information with 18 TPL, and Gunwerks describes the confidential information that was shared. (Id. ¶ 80.) 19 Gunwerks alleges that: 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 5 In an effort to support this argument, TPL cites to several exhibits that it attached to its reply brief. (See Doc. No. 89 at 8 (citing Exs. D-F).) But, a court “‘may not consider any material beyond the pleadings in ruling on a Rule 12(b)(6) motion.’” Lee, 250 F.3d at 688. Thus, the Court may not consider these materials at this stage in the proceedings. In addition, it is generally improper to attach new exhibits to a reply brief. See Tovar v. U.S. Postal Serv., 3 F.3d 1271, 1273 n.3 (9th Cir. 1993); Provenz v. Miller, 102 F.3d 1478, 1483 (9th Cir. 1996); Zkey Investments, LLC v. Facebook Inc., 225 F. Supp. 3d 1147, 1158 (C.D. Cal. 2016). 6 “Paragraph 2 of the 2017 Torrey Pines NDA defines confidential information to include, information about ‘goods and services, customers and prospective customers . . ., technical data, knowhow, trade secrets, computer software and other proprietary and intellectual property and plans and strategies for future developments relating to any of the foregoing.’” (Doc. No. 73, Counterclaims ¶ 73 (quoting Doc. No. 11, Ex. G § 2).) 9 19-cv-02195-H-DEB Case 3:19-cv-02195-H-DEB Document 92 Filed 10/28/20 PageID.1010 Page 10 of 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Torrey Pines breached the 2017 Torrey Pines NDA by, among other things: (a) using, disclosing, and/or disseminating Revic’s confidential information to compete with Revic without authorization; (b) making, having made, using, or selling for any purpose a product or resulting item using, incorporating, or derived from Revic’s confidential information to compete with Revic. (c) treating Revic’s confidential information as Torrey Pines’ own property contrary to, and to the detriment of, Revic’s ownership rights. (Id. ¶ 165.) Gunwerks further alleges that “Torrey Pines has used and continues to use Revic’s confidential information to develop [a] competing riflescope.” (Id. ¶ 105.) These allegations are sufficient at the pleading stage to allege the “breach” element (the unjustified failure to perform element) of Gunwerks’s breach of contract counterclaim. In sum, the Court declines to dismiss Gunwerks’s breach of contract counterclaim. CONCLUSION For the reasons above, the Court denies TPL’s motion to dismiss Gunwerks’s breach of contract counterclaim. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: October 28, 2020 MARILYN L.
