`
`
`
`Plaintiff Fisher-Price, Inc. and Mattel, Inc. (“Fisher-Price”) and Defendant Dynacraft
`
`BSC, Inc. (“Dynacraft”) hereby submit their Joint Case Management Statement in advance of
`
`this Court’s October 12, 2017 Initial Case Management Conference.
`
`JOINT STATEMENT
`
`1.
`
` Jurisdiction and Service: This Court has subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§
`
`1331 and 1338 (a) (federal question and patent). There are no issues as to personal jurisdiction
`
`or venue. All Parties have been served.
`
`2.
`
` Facts: This is a patent infringement action alleging infringement of United States Letters
`
`Patent Nos. 7,222,684 entitled “System, Apparatus, and Method for Providing Control of a Toy
`
`Vehicle” which issued on May 29, 2007 (the “‘684 patent”); 7,487,850 entitled “Children’s
`
`Ride-On Vehicles Having Improved Shifter Assemblies” which issued on February 10, 2009 (the
`
`“‘850 patent”); 7,621,543 entitled “Blow-Molded Wheels Having Undercut Treads, Methods for
`
`Producing the Same, and Children’s Ride-On Vehicles Including the Same” which issued on
`
`November 24, 2009 (the “‘543 patent”), and 7,950,978 entitled “System Apparatus and Method
`
`for Providing Control of a Toy Vehicle” which issued on May 31, 2011 (“the ‘978 patent”). The
`
`patents cover various safety features of ride-on vehicles for children. The ‘684 and ‘978 patents
`
`generally relate to speed control for a ride-on vehicle, which allows for smoother acceleration.
`
`The ‘850 patent generally relates to a shifter design, which allows for safely shifting the ride-on
`
`vehicle from, for instance, forward to reverse. The ‘543 patent relates to a design and
`
`manufacturing technique for the wheels of the ride-on vehicle. The Complaint was filed on
`
`January 17, 2017, and alleges that certain Dynacraft ride-on vehicles, including a Disney
`
`Princess Carriage ride-on vehicle, infringe these patents under 35 U.S.C. § 271.

`Case 4:17-cv-03745-PJH Document 43 Filed 10/05/17 Page 3 of 13
`
`
`
`Dynacraft denies Fisher-Price’s allegations and asserts several defenses, including: (a) that
`
`Dynacraft does not infringe any of the patents, either literally or under the doctrine of
`
`equivalents, and that the patents are invalid and/or unenforceable under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102-103
`
`and 112. Specifically, the ‘684 patent is anticipated and rendered obvious by U.S. Patent No.
`
`5,859,509 (Bienz), U.S. Patent No. 4,634,941 (Klion), and U.S. Patent No. 5,994,853 (Ribbe).
`
`The ‘978 is anticipated and rendered obvious by U.S. Patent No. 5,859,509 (Bienz), U.S. Patent
`
`No. 4,634,941 (Klion), and U.S. Patent No. 5,994,853 (Ribbe). The ‘543 patent is anticipated
`
`and rendered obvious by U.S, Patent Pub. No. 2005/0056474 (Damon), U.S. Patent No.
`
`5,924,506 (Perego), U.S. Patent No. 4,513,981 (DeGraaff), U.S. Patent No. 3,910,332 (Feller),
`
`and the Plastic Blow Molding Handbook by Norman Lee. And the ‘850 patent is anticipated and
`
`rendered obvious by U.S. Patent Pub. No. 2005/0056474 (Damon) and U.S. Patent Pub. No.
`
`2005/0087033 (Chi).
`
` Legal Issues: The key legal issues concern the following subjects:
`3.
`
`a. Whether the defendant infringes the patents-in-suit;
`
`b. Whether the defendant willfully infringes the patents-in-suit;
`
`c. Whether the claims of the patents-in-suit are invalid because they fail to satisfy the
`
`requirements of 102 (lack of novelty), 103 (obvious over the prior art), and 112 (lack
`
`of written description, lack of enablement, and/or claims fail to particularly point out
`
`and distinctly claim the subject matter applicants regard as their invention);
`
`d. If liability is found, what amount of damages is appropriate;
`
`e. If liability is found, whether an injunction should issue preventing future
`
`infringement.

`
`
`
`4.
`
` Motions: There are no pending motions. Dynacraft, however, anticipates filing petitions
`
`for inter-partes review challenging the validity of all four patents-in-suit no later than the Case
`
`Management Conference currently scheduled for October 12, 2017. In connection with those
`
`IPR petitions, Dynacraft also plans to file a motion to stay this case pending the resolution of its
`
`IPR petitions. It is Dynacraft’s position that the anticipated IPR petitions may resolve all issues
`
`in this case and, therefore, this Court should stay this matter pending those IPRs in order to
`
`conserve the time and resources of the Court and the parties. It is Fisher-Price’s position that any
`
`motion to stay would be premature at least until decisions on institution in any IPRs are issued.
`
`If this case proceeds during the IPR process or resumes after the IPR process is completed, it is
`
`anticipated that there may be motions for summary judgment or partial summary judgment filed
`
`by one or more of the Parties and a motion to amend the complaint to assert additional infringing
`
`products.
`
`5.
`
` Amendment of Pleadings: The deadline for amending the pleadings should be March 1,
`
`2018.
`
`The Parties reserve the right to seek permission to amend the pleadings to add additional
`
`Parties and/or claims as may be warranted upon further discovery in this action.
`
`6.
`
` Evidence Preservation: The Parties certify that they have reviewed the Guidelines
`
`Relating to the Discovery of Electronically Stored Information and confirm that they have met
`
`and conferred (telephonically) pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) regarding reasonable and
`
`proportionate steps to preserve evidence relevant to the issues reasonably evident in this action.
`
`To that end, the parties propose the Electronic Discovery Protocol attached to this Statement as
`
`Exhibit A.

`
` Disclosures: The Parties will exchange initial disclosures pursuant to Rule 26(a)(1) no
`
`later than October 26, 2017.
`
`8.
`
` Discovery:
`
`The parties have not conducted any discovery to date.
`
`The parties have agreed that they will not serve any formal discovery requests until at least
`
`October 13, 2017. The parties do not propose any other limits or modification to the discovery
`
`rules at this time.
`
`The parties have not identified any discovery disputes at this time.
`
`Plaintiffs anticipate that discovery will be needed with respect to its cause of action for
`
`infringement and to Dynacraft’s defenses, including the following topics: (a) the accused
`
`infringing products and the identity of other products which infringe; (b) Dynacraft’s contentions
`
`of non-infringement and invalidity under title 35 of the Patent Code; (c) Dynacraft’s sales and
`
`financial information relevant to the infringing products; (e) Dynacraft’s marketing of the
`
`infringing products; (f) Dynacraft’s patent licensing policies and licenses for in- and out-
`
`licensing; and (g) Dynacraft’s awareness of the patents-in-suit and whether it copied any of
`
`Fisher-Price’s ride-on designs; and (h) Dynacraft’s contentions that Fisher-Price is not entitled to
`
`the relief it requests.
`
`In addition to the above matters, Dynacraft anticipates that discovery will be needed on the
`
`following topics: (a) conception, development, and commercialization of the claimed inventions;
`
`(b) prosecution of the asserted patents; (c) construction of disputed claim terms; (d) prior art and
`
`the validity of the asserted patents; (e) licensing of the asserted patents; and (f) patent marking.
`
`The Parties propose that the Electronic Discovery Protocol attached to this Statement as
`
`Exhibit A governs the timing and scope of ESI production.

`
`
`
`The parties have discussed and anticipate entering into an agreed upon protective order to
`
`govern the handling and production of confidential materials, and procedures for handling the
`
`inadvertent production of work-product or privileged materials.
`
`
`
` Class Actions: This is not a class action. 9.
`
`10.
`
` Related cases: There are no related cases.
`
`11.
`
` Relief: Fisher-Price seeks injunctive relief, damages no less than a reasonable royalty
`
`and possibly including lost profits and price erosion damages, pre- and post-judgment interest
`
`and attorney fees and costs. Fisher-Price does not know at this time what the provable range of
`
`damages will be because that is dependent on the number of infringing Dynacraft’s products,
`
`their respective sales volume in units and dollars and Georgia-Pacific factors which are not
`
`known at this time, but will become known through discovery.
`
`Dynacraft denies that Fisher-Price is entitled to any relief.
`
`12.
`
` Settlement and ADR: The Parties have had preliminary settlement discussions, and are
`
`amenable to having additional discussions. From Fisher-Price’s perspective, discovery
`
`indicating the volume of accused products is necessary so that it can determine an appropriate
`
`settlement offer. Dynacraft remains open to further settlement discussions but does not believe
`
`such discussion depend on discovery indicating the volume of accused products.
`
`The Parties have met and conferred to select an ADR process as required by the ADR
`
`Local Rules, and are amenable to having a settlement conference pursuant to Section 7 of the
`
`ADR Local Rules.
`
` Consent to Magistrate Judge for All Purposes: The Parties do not consent to have a
`13.
`
`magistrate judge conduct all further proceedings including trial and entry of judgment.

`
` Other References: The Parties state that this case is not suitable for reference to binding
`
`arbitration, a special master, or the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation
`
`
`
` Narrowing of Issues: Fisher-Price is not aware of any issues that can be narrowed by 15.
`
`agreement or by motion at this time. Fisher-Price believes that discovery is not mature enough
`
`and trial is too remote at this time to determine issues that can be narrowed, suggestions to
`
`expedite the presentation of evidence at trial, or whether bifurcation of issues, claims or defenses
`
`is appropriate. Fisher-Price intends to address these issues as discovery proceeds and the issues
`
`become clearer. Dynacraft believes the issues in this case can be narrowed substantially, or the
`
`case can be resolved in its entirety, by staying this action pending resolution of its Petitions for
`
`Inter-Partes Review Even if the IPR process does not fully resolve this case, it likely will narrow
`
`the case by finding some of the asserted patent claims invalid, evaluating the prior art, and
`
`providing claim construction guidance for disputed claim terms. Dynacraft also believes that
`
`litigation, or at least discovery relating to damages should be bifurcated and held in abeyance
`
`until the pending IPR petitions are resolved. Dynacraft wishes to avoid the time, expense, and
`
`revelation of sensitive business information to a competitor in a case that the Patent Trial and
`
`Appeal may moot via the IPR process
`
` Expedited Trial Procedure: Consistent with the Patent Local Rules, the Parties propose
`16.
`
`the schedule listed in Section 19, below. The Parties do not believe that this is the type of case
`
`that can be handled under the Expedited Trial Procedure of General Order No. 64.

` Proposed modifications to the obligations or deadlines set forth in the Patent Local
`
`Rules: The Parties’ proposed schedule is set forth in Section 17, above.
`
` The scope and timing of any claim construction discovery and damages discovery:
`23.
`
`The timing of discovery is set forth in the parties’ proposed schedule in Section 17, above.
`
`Dynacraft, however, contends that the parties should delay damages discovery until after the
`
`Court issues its claim construction order. The parties are direct competitors and, notwithstanding
`
`the protections offered by a confidentiality order, Dynacraft does not believe that it should be
`
`compelled to divulge sensitive financial information to a competitor unless it is absolutely
`
`necessary. Moreover, postponing damages discovery provides the added benefit of narrowing
`
`and reducing the cost of discovery until after the parties can better assess liability in this case.
`
`Fisher-Price contends that damages discovery should not be delayed. Such a delay would largely
`
`prevent any meaningful opportunity for settlement during the early stages of the case, and would
`
`further prevent Fisher-Price from timely submitting its damages contentions under Patent Local
`
`Rules 3.8.

`Case 4:17-cv-03745-PJH Document 43 Filed 10/05/17 Page 11 of 13
`
`
`
`24.
`
` The format of the Claim Construction Hearing, including whether the Court will
`
`hear live testimony, the order of presentation, and the estimated length of the hearing: The
`
`Parties are amenable to presenting argument at the claim construction hearing in the following
`
`manner: for each claim term, each party will present its argument before moving to the next
`
`claim term, with the parties alternating who presents first for each claim term. The parties
`
`currently anticipate that the claim construction hearing will last no more than one day. At this
`
`time, Plaintiffs do not anticipate a need to present live testimony. Defendant does not know
`
`whether or not it will present live testimony.
`
` How the parties intend to educate the Court on the technology at issue: The Parties
`25.
`
`propose educating the Court on the technology at issue either during the course of the Claim
`
`Construction Hearing, or through a tutorial on the date set forth in the Proposed Schedule in
`
`Section 17, above, if the Court believes such a tutorial would be helpful.
`
` Non-Binding, good faith estimate of the damages range: Fisher-Price cannot at this
`26.
`
`time give an estimate of damages because it does not know the amount of sales of the accused
`
`products that Dynacraft has made (or whether Dynacraft will be selling additional infringing
`
`products during the course of these proceedings). Once it knows these sales figures, it will be
`
`able to provide at least a non-binding estimate of what a reasonable royalty would likely be.
`
`Likewise, Dynacraft cannot at this time estimate damages as it believes the patents-in-suit are
`
`invalid and not infringed as explained above. Therefore, Dynacraft does not believe that Fisher-
`
`Price is entitled to recover any damages in this case. Moreover, any damages analysis in this case
`
`likely will require complex analysis of the value of the claimed inventions and how much those
`
`inventions contribute to the value of the accused products.
