`
`Pursuant to the Court’s June 23, 2022 Order requesting a status report, Plaintiff Cellspin
`Soft, Inc. (“Cellspin”) and Defendants Canon U.S.A., Inc. (“Canon”), GoPro, Inc. (“GoPro”),
`Panasonic Corporation of North America (“Panasonic”), JK Imaging Ltd. (“JK Imaging”), and
`Garmin International, Inc., et al. (“Garmin”), (collectively “’698 Defendants”) respectfully submit
`this Joint Status Report as follows:
`As the Court is aware, certain Defendants in the above-styled cases filed IPR Petitions in the
`United States Patent Office with respect to asserted United States Patent No. 9,258,698 (“the ’698
`Patent”). On April 28, 2020, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board entered Final Written Decisions in
`both cases (IPR 2019-00127 (Canon) and IPR 2019-00131 (Panasonic)) finding the challenged
`claims of the ’698 Patent to be unpatentable as obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103 in view of the cited
`prior art. Plaintiff Cellspin then filed a Notice of Appeal of the decisions of the PTAB in each of the
`referenced IPR’s to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Appeal Nos. 20-1947 and 20-
`1948). Cellspin filed its opening brief on December 9, 2020, Appellees filed their responsive brief
`on March 23, 2021, and Cellspin filed its reply brief on April 27, 2021.
`On June 23, 2021, the Federal Circuit ordered sua sponte that the parties file supplemental
`briefing in light of the United States Supreme Court Arthrex decision. Cellspin filed its supplemental
`brief on July 7, 2021, and Appellees filed their responsive brief on July 21, 2021. In response to the
`supplemental briefing, on August 2, 2021, the Federal Circuit ordered that it will retain jurisdiction
`of the appeal but the case is remanded to the PTAB for the limited purpose of allowing Cellspin the
`opportunity to request Director rehearing of the final written decision. On September 1, 2021,
`Cellspin filed Requests for Director Review in IPR2019-00127 and in IPR2019-00131, respectively.
`On November 22, 2021, the USPTO denied both Requests for Director Review.
`On December 6, 2021, Cellspin filed Amended Notices of Appeal of the denials of the
`Requests for Director Review of the IPR decisions. The appeals remain pending before the Court
`of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The parties most recently filed notices regarding conflicts with
`oral argument. The parties agree that the above-captioned cases may be closed for administrative
`purposes until after any rehearing and appeals regarding the PTAB proceedings are finally resolved.

`
`
`In the interest of judicial expediency and efficiency given the current procedural posture,
`the parties agree that these present cases should continue to be stayed with respect to the ’698
`Patent by the Court until such time as any rehearing and appeals are resolved.
