Case Overview
The Parties
⚖️ Plaintiff
An entity whose name and structure suggest a patent assertion model, though no public product portfolio is associated with the firm.
🛡️ Defendant
The U.S.-facing subsidiary of AnyDesk Software GmbH, a Germany-headquartered provider of remote desktop and remote access solutions.
The Patent at Issue

The Verdict & Legal Analysis
Outcome
The action was dismissed without prejudice by plaintiff’s notice filed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). No damages were awarded. No injunctive relief was granted or denied. No judicial findings on patent validity or infringement were issued.
A without-prejudice dismissal is a legally significant distinction: it does not bar Ortiz & Associates from refiling the same claims against AnyDesk Americas — or against other defendants — in a future action, subject to applicable statutes of limitations and any intervening legal developments affecting patent US9549285B2.
Legal Significance
The absence of any defendant responsive pleading before dismissal means the substantive legal questions — claim construction, infringement under the doctrine of equivalents, validity challenges under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102/103, or enablement — were never adjudicated.
The engagement of Greenberg Traurig PA by AnyDesk signals that the defendant took the matter seriously from the outset. It is reasonable to infer that early-stage discussions between the parties, potentially including licensing talks or the threat of IPR proceedings against US9549285B2, may have influenced the plaintiff’s decision to dismiss voluntarily.
