OPINION
JOHN A. GIBNEY, JR., District Judge.
MicroStrategy brought suit against Apt-tus claiming infringement on three of Mi-croStrategy’s patents. Based upon 35 U.S.C. 101,1 the Court finds that the pat*891ents at issue claim patent-ineligible subject matter. The three patents are directed at the abstract ideas of report generation and data storage. Looking to the claims themselves, the Court finds nothing to transform these abstract ideas into patent-eligible subject matter under the Supreme Court’s Alice decision. Consequently, the Court -will GRANT the defendant’s motion.
