`PROCEEDINGS (IN CHAMBERS): ORDER FOR BRIEFING
`
`In light of the upcoming status conference in these cases, scheduled for December
`
`4, 2019 at 8:30 a.m., the Court hereby ORDERS the parties to submit supplemental
`briefing, of no more than five pages in length, on the following questions by December 3,
`2019 at 12:00 p.m.:
`
`
`(1) What is the current status of the Square Enix case pending in Texas, and how
`would it affect any of the four related cases before this Court?
`
`(2) Netsuite, in its papers, contends that adopting Judge Schroeder’s claim
`construction would be dispositive of the case against it. Is this also true of the
`infringement claims in the other cases (viz., the claims in Infor and the
`counterclaims in Square Enix and Ubisoft)?

`CIVIL MINUTES – GENERAL
`
`
`(3) In its Supplemental Rule 26(f) Report, Uniloc 2017 refers to “an interlocutory
`claim construction order” that is currently the subject of a motion to reconsider. Is
`this claim construction the same one that Netsuite contends would be dispositive
`of its case?
`
`(4) The Court is presently considering three options for consolidating these cases:
`(i) consolidating all four cases together;
`(ii) consolidating Square Enix with Ubisoft (the declaratory judgment cases), and
`Infor with Netsuite; and
`(iii) consolidating Ubisoft, Infor, and Netsuite, but leaving Square Enix separate.
`
`Which of these options—in light of the pending Square Enix action in Texas and
`this Court’s interest in efficient case management—would provide for the most
`equitable and efficient resolution of these cases?
`
`The Clerk shall serve this minute order on the parties.
