`
`In Defendant’s Motion, Defendants argue that Counts II and III of the Complaint do not satisfy

`the requirements of Rule 8(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and ultimately moves this Court
`
`for dismissal of those counts. Counts II and III concern infringement allegations with respect to U.S.

`Patent No. 8,898,003 and U.S. Patent No. 8,406,994, respectively. Defendants’ Motion at 1. Defendants
`
`have not pleaded a counterclaim in this action in parallel to Defendants’ Motion.
