Digital Sun v. The Toro Company, 10-cv-04567 (N.D. Cal.)
Robins Kaplan obtained dismissal and successful resolution of antitrust, California unfair business practices, and common law fraud claims against The Toro Company. The complaint involved smart sprinkler technology and arose out of Toro's consideration of a potential business relationship, including licensing. The issues presented in the motion to dismiss included the plausibility of the allegations under the standard set forth in the Supreme Court's decision in Twombly, as well as the intersection between antitrust and patent laws.
