This suit isn't going anywhere. Maybe... Envestnet will increase their "purchase price" to make this go away. More likely not though. Proving violation of unpatented IP, that is often not terribly complex and often fairly obvious when you get under the hood, isn't likely to work for the plaintiff. More likely Envestnet decided they could simply build it themselves, they know how it needed to work, so they did.
