Monitor for claim construction (Markman) rulings and summary judgment motions, which will determine the strength of Alpha Modus's patent claims. The Alice Step 1 finding of abstractness is a headwind for plaintiff, but the Step 2 factual dispute keeps the case viable. A settlement or adverse claim construction ruling would be the next material catalyst.

Executive Summary
The court denied Lowe's motion to dismiss in Alpha Modus's patent infringement case against 7-Eleven and Lowe's, ruling that while the asserted patents are directed to abstract ideas (Alice Step 1), genuine factual disputes prevent dismissal under Alice Step 2. This is an interlocutory procedural ruling that keeps the case alive, not a final judgment on liability or damages. The ruling is neutral — it merely allows the case to proceed to discovery and merits, with no damages awarded or injunction issued.
