`UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
`SAN JOSE DIVISION
`
`DANIEL L. FLAMM,
`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`INTEL CORPORATION,
`Defendant.
`
`
`
`Case No. 5:16-cv-001579-BLF
`INTEL’S RESPONSE TO MOTION TO LIFT
`STAY FOR PURPOSE OF ENTERING
`VOLUNTARY DISMISSAL OF CERTAIN
`ASPECTS OF PLAINTIFF’S CLAIMS
`
`
`Plaintiff Flamm has moved to have the stay of this case lifted for the limited purpose of
`entering an order dismissing (with prejudice) the portion of Plaintiff’s claims that are based on
`Intel’s use of tools supplied by Tokyo Electron Ltd. (“TEL”). Intel Corp. (“Intel”) does not
`oppose partially lifting the stay for that limited purpose. In all other respects, however, the stay
`should remain in place because all claims across all asserted patents remain subject to IPR
`petitions filed jointly by Intel, GLOBALFOUNDRIES and Micron. Those petitions have been
`
`Intel’s Response to Motion to Lift Stay for Purpose of
`Entering Voluntary Dismissal of Certain Aspects of
`Plaintiff’s Claims
`
`
`
`Case No. 5:16-cv-001579-BLF
`
`

`
`
`
`instituted for trial at the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”), fully briefed and
`argued. On June 22, 2018, the PTAB issued a final written decision finding that all seven
`claims in U.S. Patent No. 6,017,221 are unpatentable over the prior art. The parties are now
`waiting for the final written decisions on the petitions challenging U.S. Patent Nos. RE40,264
`and 5,711,849. The remaining final written decisions are expected to issue sometime within the
`next three months.
`Plaintiff’s motion to lift the stay incorrectly suggests that the recent settlement between
`Plaintiff and TEL “resulted in [a] joint motion for termination of the pending inter partes
`reviews that are the basis for the stay of the instant action.” Dkt. 41 at 2:11-13. To the contrary,
`the settlement between Plaintiff and TEL did not lead to a joint motion to dismiss any of the
`instituted IPR petitions on the asserted patents in this case. And as noted above, IPRs
`challenging all claims across all asserted patents have been instituted and remain pending before
`the PTAB.
`Because Plaintiff’s motion does not seek to lift the stay entirely, and given the ongoing
`validity challenges at the PTAB, Intel respectfully requests that the Court leave the stay in place
`after dismissing the portion of Plaintiff’s claims related to Intel’s use of tools supplied by TEL.
