`
`TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:
`NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
`12(c), on December 21, 2020, or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in
`Courtroom 9D by the Honorable David O. Carter of the United States District Court for
`the Central District of California, located at 411 West 4th Street, Santa Ana, California
`92701, Counter Defendant Ubisoft, Inc. (“Ubisoft”) will, and hereby does, move for an
`order granting judgment on the pleadings on Counter Plaintiff Uniloc 2017, LLC’s
`(“Uniloc”) claims with prejudice.
`This motion is brought pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(c).
`Uniloc’s counterclaims for infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,324,578 and 7,069,293
`(the “Asserted Patents”) are barred as a matter of law by the doctrine of claim preclusion
`and the Kessler doctrine. More specifically, Uniloc’s allegations of infringement against
`Ubisoft accuse a Content Delivery Network provided by Akamai Technologies, Inc. of
`performing limitations of the asserted claims. Uniloc previously sued Akamai
`Technologies, Inc. for infringement of the Asserted Patents, accusing Akamai’s Content
`Delivery Network of infringement. That lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice, and
`operates as an adjudication on the merits. Accordingly, Uniloc’s claims for infringement
`in this case are barred as a matter of law by the doctrine claim preclusion and the Kessler
`doctrine, and Ubisoft respectfully requests that its motion for judgment on the pleadings
`be granted.
`This motion is made following the conference of counsel pursuant to L.R. 7-3
`which took place on November 16, 2020. Counsel for Uniloc, Jim Foster, stated that
`Uniloc opposes the present motion.
