Yoldas Askan v. FARO Technologies, Inc., decided May 12, 2025

This nonprecedential appellate opinion from the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit addresses Yoldas Askan's appeal of a district court's dismissal of his patent infringement lawsuit against FARO Technologies, Inc. The court affirms the district court's decision to dismiss the complaint with prejudice for failure to state a plausible claim, finding that Askan's pleadings were conclusory and lacked sufficient factual allegations of infringement. The opinion also confirms the district court's discretion to reconsider its judgment and its authority to strike FARO's answer to the complaint. Finally, the court upheld the district court's refusal to allow discovery to enable Askan to gather information needed to plead a plausible claim.
