`
`
`SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING OF UNILOC 2017
`
`
`Uniloc 2017 responds to this Court’s December 2 order for briefing:
`
`
`1.
`
`In Uniloc 2017 LLC v. Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd. 2:2019-cv-00221 (TXED), Uniloc
`
`is currently in the process of serving Square Enix Holdings Co., LTD and Square Enix Co., LTD
`
`through the Hague because Square Enix's counsel refuses to accept service. The Texas court has
`
`entered an order granting Uniloc's Motion for Appointment of an International Process Server.
`
`The Square Enix case pending in Texas will affect the Square Enix case before this Court
`
`because the Square Enix entities named in the Texas suit are, according to representations by
`
`Square Enix's counsel, the entities who developed the accused product and have discoverable
`
`information concerning the accused product. The parties will be hindered in moving forward in
`
`this Court without discovery from the Square Enix entities in Japan who are named parties to the
`
`Texas action.
`
`The Square Enix case pending in Texas could cause delay in the other related cases
`
`pending in this Court if the schedules are aligned.
`
`2. & 3.
`
`The interlocutory claim construction Uniloc 2017 referred to in its Supplemental Rule
`
`26(f) Report had been issued by Judge Schroeder in the Eastern District of Texas on August 16,
`
`2017, and involved a large number of claim terms. On September 27, 2017, plaintiffs in that
`
`action, Uniloc USA, Inc., and Uniloc Luxembourg, S.A., filed a motion to reconsider the
`
`construction of two of the terms, with respect to the same patents as involved in the current
`
`actions in this Court. Before that motion had been fully briefed, however, Judge Schroeder
`
`dismissed the entire action on §101 grounds and thus denied, as moot, the motion to reconsider.
`
`
`
`Case 8:19-cv-01151-DOC-KES Document 43 Filed 12/03/19 Page 3 of 4 Page ID #:365
`
`After the §101 decision was reversed with respect to the patents involved in these actions,
`
`the Texas action was remanded. Uniloc 2017 then refiled its Motion to Reconsider. Briefing of
`
`that motion will be completed by December 10.
`
`That interlocutory claim construction is the same one that NetSuite contends would be
`
`dispositive in this case. Uniloc 2017 does not agree with NetSuite’s contention, for reasons
`
`Uniloc 2017 will set forth when it responds to NetSuite’s motion. Uniloc 2017 also contends
`
`Judge Schroeder’s interlocutory claim construction would not be dispositive of the case against
`
`the other three accused infringers.
`
`4.
`
`Of the three options the Court is considering, Uniloc 2017 urges the Court to choose (iii).
`
`In the Square Enix action, Uniloc 2017 has retained Texas counsel, who is also handling the
`
`Texas action and who is not involved in the other three actions. Further, the Square Enix action
`
`raises issues as to whether other Square Enix related entities need to be added, as well as the
`
`question of which action – Texas or California – should take precedence.
`
`The other three actions contain no such threshold issues, and thus can move ahead
`
`immediately, yielding the “efficient resolution” this Court is seeking.
